    This document summarizes the results of calculating the bearing capacity of shallow foundations using the Terzaghi and Vesic methods. It provides the input parameters for soil properties, foundation geometry, and factors of safety and outputs the ultimate and allowable bearing capacities in pounds per square foot as well as the allowable column load in thousands of pounds for a square foundation that is 9.89 feet by 9.89 feet and 3 feet deep, with a cohesion of 2000 pounds per square foot, a friction angle of 0 degrees, a unit weight of 109 pounds per cubic foot, and a factor of safety of 3.
