👉Soil Bearing Capacity
💫1. Bearing Capacity
⏺Bearing capacity is the ability of soil to support the loads coming from a foundation without shear failure or excessive settlement.
💫2. Ultimate Bearing Capacity (qu)
⏺Ultimate bearing capacity is the maximum pressure that soil can withstand just before failure occurs.
⏺Terzaghi’s equation (for strip footing):
qu = cNc + γDfNq + 0.5γBNγ
💫3. Safe Bearing Capacity (qs)
⏺Safe bearing capacity is the allowable pressure on soil obtained by dividing the ultimate bearing capacity by a factorof safety.
qs = qu / FOS
