Bearing Capacity Calculator Skill
Purpose
The Bearing Capacity Calculator Skill determines ultimate and allowable bearing capacity for foundations using established geotechnical methods including Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen, and Vesic.
Capabilities
- Ultimate bearing capacity calculation
- Allowable bearing capacity with factor of safety
- Effect of groundwater
- Eccentric and inclined loads
- Layered soil bearing capacity
- Settlement-based bearing capacity
- Shape, depth, and inclination factors
- Bearing capacity for footings on slopes
Usage Guidelines
