This document discusses the calculation of bearing capacity and settlement for shallow foundations. It provides the equations to calculate the safe bearing capacity considering general shear failure and local shear failure. It also defines the various factors involved in the calculations like shape factors, depth factors, bearing capacity factors, etc. based on Indian code IS:6403-1981. The document then applies these calculations to examples of foundations of different sizes and depths to determine the safe bearing capacity and immediate settlements.
