    This document analyzes the bearing capacity of spread footings based on soil properties. It provides parameters for a footing with a width and length of 1.5m, depth of 1.5m, in soil with a cohesion of 30kPa and friction angle of 30 degrees. The analysis calculates bearing capacity factors and determines the allowable bearing capacity is 2333.548kPa, with a net allowable capacity of 2306.548kPa. It also determines the minimum and maximum allowable column loads.
