Interpretation of Results

The bearing capacity will be calculated based on Terzaghi’s bearing capacity theory. The safe bearing capacity includes a safety factor to account for uncertainties in soil properties and loading conditions.

Recommendations

For best results, always correlate calculated values with field tests like Standard Penetration Test (SPT) or Plate Load Test. Consider potential settlement in addition to bearing capacity failure.
