The document provides sample calculations for determining the bearing capacity of soil under different failure modes for a square isolated foundation. It calculates the bearing capacity considering general shear failure, local shear failure, and intermediate failure between general and local shear. For each failure mode, it provides parameters like footing dimensions, soil properties, groundwater table, surcharge load, and calculates factors to determine the ultimate and allowable bearing capacities.
