    Soil Bearing Capac SPT Relationship Terzaghi & Peck Chart

    Uploaded by

    The document shows relationships between allowable bearing capacity, standard penetration test (SPT) values, and footing width for gravelly sands, silty sands, and non-plastic silts. The graphs plot allowable bearing pressure in kN/m^2 on the y-axis against footing width in meters on the x-axis, with curves for different SPT N-values. Higher SPT N-values correspond to higher allowable bearing pressures, up to a maximum of 700 kN/m^2 for a SPT N of 50 or more.
