    Design of A Shallow Foundation

    Uploaded by

    Haffizul Said
    A shallow foundation is designed for a load of 400 kN on a sandy soil with an average SPT N-value of 15 in the foundation depth zone. Using Terzaghi's equation, the ultimate bearing capacity is estimated to be 112 kPa with a factor of safety of 3. The allowable bearing capacity based on a settlement limit of 25 mm is 66.7 kPa using the Burland and Burbidge method.

    Note: Since this sheet can handle


    calculations for both sands and
    clays, and drained and undrained
    loading, some anomalies may occur.

    Therefore, select parameters


    carefully and enter zero values
    where appropriate (e.g..for cu, f',
