Soil bearing capacity is the maximum load soil can support without excessive settlement or failure. It's critical for foundation design.

चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका

  1. 1Use Terzaghi's formula with soil strength parameters (c, φ)
  2. 2Account for depth, shape, and inclination factors
  3. 3Results show allowable bearing pressure

सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है

  • Using generic values without site investigation
  • Neglecting water table effects

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

What reduces bearing capacity?

High water table, soft clay, and shallow foundations all reduce capacity significantly.

How is bearing capacity measured?

Plate load tests, boring logs with SPT, or laboratory testing provide site-specific values.
