Note: The Allowable Bearing Capacity data applies to cohesive soils only and is based on bearing capacity factor Nc = 5 and FOS = 4
Approximate Cu = 0.8 x allowable bearing capacity.
Caution: The Allowable Bearing derived using this method should be used with care and consideration should be made of soil moisture
condition at the time of the test in relation to that expected during service life of the foundation.
Using DCP tests for determining soil strength and allowable bearing capacity is generally considered to be of limited applicability
(Ref Campanella & Robertson, 1983).
