What is a Bearing Capacity Calculator?
A bearing capacity calculator estimates the maximum load that the soil can support without failure based on parameters such as soil type, foundation type, and footing area.
Why use a Bearing Capacity Calculator?
- Foundation Design: Essential for designing foundations that can safely support the loads from structures.
- Safety Assurance: Ensures that the soil can bear the intended load without excessive settlement or failure.
- Code Compliance: Helps comply with building codes and standards related to foundation design.
- Optimized Design: Assists in optimizing the design of foundations based on soil bearing capacity.
