What is bearing capacity of soil? | Understanding bearing Capacity of Soil

In this video, we are going to discuss about bearing capacity of soil and why we care about the bearing capacity of a soil. We all know that all civil engineering structures whether they are buildings, bridges, dams or tunnels etc. are built on soils.
Therefore, a foundation will be required to transmit the load of the structure on a large area of soil. So, let's discuss the bearing capacity of soil.

wow!! This is so captivating. Thank you sir for the video. very informative and engaging.

[@Innotutorial]

Thank you Fendi. I really appreciate🙏🙏

The bearing capacity of the soil is as important as the structure itself

[@Innotutorial]

The bearing capacity of the soil is very important. Because a bad bearing capacity will mean the Foundation will not be able to hold the structure when earthquake or wind load occurs. Which will make the structure fail quickly in shear.

Love you that video

[@Innotutorial]

Thank you, Dear. God bless you. I will be making more videos soon.

thank you sir

[@Innotutorial]

You are welcome james. It is my pleasure.

Can I ask? What is the Ultimate Soil Pressure? In kPa

[@Innotutorial]

Hi Daniela. It will depend on the type of structure which is going to be resting on the soil. Usually 100Kpa for under strip footing and 50kpa for under slab footing. Is that clear enough?

[@yanzuckerbergchlorophyll4659]

I compute it by computing the Load the Footing carries in kilograms or kilonewtons divided by Length multiplied by Width of Footing , kG/m2, then the soil capacity in kg/m2 will be compared, then the Soil Capacity should be larger than the Load / meter squared.

ethics i follow...just commenting

[@Innotutorial]

Yes you are right.

[@Innotutorial]

That is correct. The overall goal is to make the soil capacity greater than the soil pressure in force per square area.

Please i want video about geotechnical engineering of clay in building

[@Innotutorial]

Okay..I will try to make such video

[@bernardselasienkpe4084]

Wanted to see the chart you used for your thumbnail properly

[@nurulamin5217]

How we can find out the Bearing capacity of soil. Explain plz.

[@Innotutorial]

You can use Terzaghi ultimate bearing capacity formula to get the ultimate bearing capacity of soils
