Bearing Capacity Calculator

Terzaghi's Ultimate Bearing Capacity:
qu = c·Nc·sc·dc·ic + γ·D·Nq·sq·dq·iq + 0.5·γ·B·Nγ·sγ·dγ·iγ
Soil Footing B L D Required: B, L, D, c, φ, γ Footing Dimensions

Settlement Calculator

Immediate + Consolidation Settlement:
Immediate: Se = (q·B·I) / (E·Cs)
Consolidation: Sc = (Cc·H)/(1+e0)·log10(σ'f/σ'i)
Dense Layer Compressible Layer Foundation q (psf) B H Required: q, B, E, Cc, e0, H Foundation & Soil Layers
Immediate Settlement
Consolidation Settlement

Lateral Earth Pressure Calculator

Active Earth Pressure: Ka = tan²(45° - φ/2)
Passive Earth Pressure: Kp = tan²(45° + φ/2)
Copy code Backfill H q Required: H, φ, γ, q Pressure Distribution

Pile Capacity Calculator

Ultimate Pile Capacity:
Qu = Qs + Qp = Σ(α·Su·As) + (Ap·Nq·σ'v + Ap·Nc·Su)
Soil D L Required: D, L, Su, σ'v Load Pile Dimensions
