Answer / sjtbehera ( hari machines)

In geotechnical engineering, bearing capacity is the
capacity of soil to support the loads applied to the
ground. The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average
contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which
should not produce shear failure in the soil. Ultimate
bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure which
can be supported without failure; allowable bearing
capacity is the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a
factor of safety

Answer / purushotham

The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact
pressure between the foundation and the soil which should
not produce shear failure in the soil.

It can be computed by therotically and Physically.
1. Terzagi theroy.
2. Mayer hoffs theroy.

Physically:
1. Plate load test.
2.dynamic test loading.
3.wave equation analysis.

Answer / saravanakumar.p

gross pressure intensity at the base of foundation at which
the soil fails in shear.

Answer / k.bu.babu

The Load which the soil can bear per unit Area without any
failure.

Bearing capacity of soils it's depend on the time factor.
As per time factor,density of soils are changes variation in
temperature and seasons.

plate load test for finding bearing capacity of soil.

Answer / harshal.s.khode

Bearing capacity is the power of foundation soil to hold
the forces from the superstructure without undergoing shear
failure or excessive settlement. Foundation soil is that
portion of ground which is subjected to additional stresses
when foundation and superstructure are constructed on the
ground. The following are a few important terminologies
related to bearing capacity of soil.

Ultimate Bearing Capacity (qf) : It is the maximum pressure
that a foundation soil can withstand without undergoing
shear failure.

Net ultimate Bearing Capacity (qn) : It is the maximum
extra pressure (in addition to initial overburden pressure)
that a foundation soil can withstand without undergoing
shear failure.
qn = qf - qo
Here, qo represents the overburden pressure at foundation
level and is equal to үD for level ground without surcharge
where ү is the unit weight of soil and D is the depth to
foundation bottom from Ground Level.

Safe Bearing Capacity (qs) : It is the safe extra load the
foundation soil is subjected to in addition to initial
overburden pressure.

Here. F represents the factor of safety.

Allowable Bearing Pressure (qa) : It is the maximum
pressure the foundation soil is subjected to considering
both shear failure and settlement.

Answer / mahesh b.jadhav

bearing capacity of soil, is the capacity which bear unit load on unit Square area without zero settlement/disturbance .
Keep a plate of unit area on soil. apply initial small load on that plate.record this value for settlement/movement.
