    The document calculates the safe bearing capacity of a footing located 2 meters below the existing ground level based on soil test results. The bulk density, submerged density, cohesion, and angle of internal friction were determined to be 1.94 t/m3, 0.94 t/m3, 3.55 t/m2, and 0 degrees, respectively. Using these parameters and tables from IS 6403, the ultimate bearing capacity was calculated to be 423.1933 KN/m2. Applying a factor of safety of 2.5, the safe bearing capacity was determined to be 169 KN/m2 or 17 t/m2. However, considering settlement and local variations, an allowable bearing capacity of

    CALCULATION OF SAFE BEARING CAPACITY

    Safe bearing capacity of footing at 2.00 m below EGL has been calculated in accordence with the provisions
    laid down in IS : 6403 based on the geotechnical parameters from laboratory test results of Soil samples at
    Rabindra Mahavidyalaya, Champadanga.

    Considering the settelment aspect and local variations etc, an allowable bearing capacity of the order of
    10T/m2 can thus be safely considered. The actual bearing pressure does not exceeds this value.
