Soil Load Bearing Capacity Estimator

Soil bearing capacity refers to the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without failure or excessive settlement. It’s a critical factor in foundation design.

This calculator provides reasonable estimates based on standard soil parameters. For precise calculations, especially for large structures, professional soil testing is recommended.

Key factors include soil type, moisture content, density, foundation depth and width, and the presence of groundwater. The calculator accounts for the most significant of these factors.
