How to Calculate Bearing Capacity for Strip Footing?
Bearing Capacity for Strip Footing calculator uses Ultimate Bearing Capacity = (Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion)+(Effective Surcharge*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge)+(0.5*Unit Weight of Soil*Width of Footing*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight) to calculate the Ultimate Bearing Capacity, The Bearing Capacity for Strip Footing is defined as the value of bearing capacity of soil for strip footing when we have prior information of other parameters used. Ultimate Bearing Capacity is denoted by qf symbol.
How to calculate Bearing Capacity for Strip Footing using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bearing Capacity for Strip Footing, enter Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal (C), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion (Nc), Effective Surcharge (σ`), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge (Nq), Unit Weight of Soil (γ), Width of Footing (B) & Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight (Nγ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bearing Capacity for Strip Footing calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.04025 = (1270*9)+(10*2.01)+(0.5*18000*2*1.6).
