No. It is a classical ultimate-pressure estimate without code partial factors.

What about the water table?

Not included; effective stress and buoyant unit weight must be handled by the user elsewhere.

Computes q_ult = c*Nc + q*Nq + 0.5*gamma*B*Ngamma with q = gamma*Df. Friction angle drives Nc, Nq, Ngamma through textbook correlations. Shape, depth, and inclination factors, groundwater, layered soils, and settlement are not modeled. Output is not a substitute for geotechnical investigation or design standards.
