    Bearing Capacity

    Uploaded by

    Sara Nuon
    This document summarizes the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation with dimensions of 1.2m x 1.2m x 0.3m deep, located 1.5m below the ground surface. The soil has a friction angle of 25 degrees, cohesion of 0 kN/m^2, and density of 18 kN/m^3. Using the Terzaghi and Meyerhof methods, the ultimate and allowable bearing capacities are calculated to be 382.764 kPa and 123.988 kPa (Terzaghi), and 538.150 kPa and 175.783 kPa (Meyerhof) respectively.
