What is Bearing Capacity of Soil? How will you calculate
for a particular type of Soil?
Answer Posted / 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
