Calculation of Foundation Bearing Capacity as per IS 6403 – 1981
The IS 6403:1981 standard provides guidelines for calculating the bearing capacity of shallow foundations, ensuring safety and stability of structures. The standard defines methods to determine ultimate bearing capacity (qᵤ), safe bearing capacity (qâ‚›), and allowable bearing pressure based on Terzaghi’s and Meyerhof’s theories. 1. Types of Bearing Capacity 2. Bearing Capacity Formula as per… Read more
Terzaghi’s Bearing Capacity Calculation For Foundations
How to Calculate Bearing Capacity of a Foundation The bearing capacity of a foundation is the ability of the soil to support the loads applied by a structure without excessive settlement or failure. It is crucial in foundation design to ensure stability and safety. 1. Types of Bearing Capacity 2. Terzaghi’s Bearing Capacity Equation (For… Read more
