    Bearing Capacity Vesic

    Uploaded by

    Zhenhe Song
    This document provides calculations for the bearing capacity of shallow footings on sandy soil. It includes input values for soil properties, water table depth, and safety factors. Bearing capacity is calculated using Vesic's method and factors for square, strip, and L/B ratio footings of varying widths from 0.5 to 3 meters. The results are presented in a table showing allowable bearing capacity increases with footing width. A graph illustrates the relationship between bearing capacity and footing width for different shapes. Notes indicate recommendations are based on a safety factor of 3 and do not consider effects of horizontal loading.
