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.
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.
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?

wow!! This is so captivating. Thank you sir for the video. very informative and engaging.
Thank you Fendi. I really appreciate🙏🙏
Thanks for the helpful information
Glad it was helpful!
The bearing capacity of the soil is as important as the structure itself

Love you that video
Thank you, Dear. God bless you. I will be making more videos soon.
thank you sir
You are welcome james. It is my pleasure.

ethics i follow...just commenting
Yes you are right.
That is correct. The overall goal is to make the soil capacity greater than the soil pressure in force per square area.
Can I ask? What is the Ultimate Soil Pressure? In kPa

Please i want video about geotechnical engineering of clay in building
Okay..I will try to make such video
How we can find out the Bearing capacity of soil. Explain plz.
You can use Terzaghi ultimate bearing capacity formula to get the ultimate bearing capacity of soils
Wanted to see the chart you used for your thumbnail properly
I❤it.But I don't understand
What don't you understand?
