Ground Bearing Pressure and
Load Distribution Analysis
Soil Analysis
– The allowable ground bearing capacity has to be
investigated and confirmed by an experienced
soils engineering firm.

Sample Soil Report
The site surface cover generally consisted of gravel. The soil profile generally
consisted of lean clay with varying amounts of sand to depths of about 13.5 feet
underlain by fine to medium sand to below the boring termination depths.
Groundwater was encountered at depths of 13.5 feet in the test boring at the time
of field exploration.
DESCRIPTION VALUE
Foundation Type Shallow foundation
Bearing Material 6 inches of ODOT Type “A” crushed aggregate base2,3 over undisturbed native
soil
1
Net Allowable Bearing Pressure 2,500 psf
Total Estimated Settlement 1 inch
Estimated Differential Settlement Approximately 1/2 of total settlement
1. The recommended net allowable bearing pressure is the pressure at the base of the
shallow foundation in excess of the adjacent overburden pressure. Assumes any
unsuitable materials, if encountered, will be undercut and replaced with engineered fill.

Ground Bearing Pressure and
Load Distribution Analysis
• Foundations
– Depending on the type of lift equipment, cranes
or gantry systems, the foundation is designed
based on the allowable ground pressure.
