Calculation for X,Y,Z

X = c Nc sc dc ic = 3.5 x 20.72 x 1.3 x 1.29 x 0.891975308 = 107.9 T / m^2

Y = q ( Nq – 1 ) sq dq iq = 4.05 x ( 10.66 - 1 ) x 1.2 x 1.15 x 0.8 = 47.79 T / m^2

Z = 0.5 B g Ng sg dg ig W' = 0.5 x 5 x 1.9 x 10.88 x 0.6 x 1.15 x 0.64 = 11.32 T / m^2

Bearing Capacity

Qult = X+Y+Z
= 107.86 + 47.8 + 11.33
= 166.97 T / m^2

q all = Qult / FOS + q

= ( 166.97 / 2.5 ) + 4.05
= 70.8 T / m2

Design Bearing Capacity = 70.8 T / m2 At RL 4.50 m
