Load Bearing capacity of soil

Maximum load during preload (MN)

A - Shaped Mud mat with the folowing dimensions
Width of the mudmat B(m)
Length of mudmat L(m)
Area A (m2)
Distance between the bearing area of the mat and resultant horizontal load acting (e1) (m)=
Distance between the bearing area of the mat and vertical load acting (e2) (m)=
The loads that are to be applied in the jack up:
Total weight in operating conditions Q(MN)=
Resultant of horizontal loads H(MN)=
The calculation results are as follows:
Moment of environmental loads,M:
M1 (MNm)=
M2 (MNm)=
Reduce area A':
