The the bearing capacity of silt soil can be improved by:
- Compacting the soil to increase it's density.
- Increasing the depth of the foundation layer as the increased effective stress will act to increase bearing capacity
- The use of geosynthetics may act to increase bearing capacity
- The use of lime stabilisation / soil mixing techniques may also act to increase the bearing capacity of silt.

What are bearing capacity factors?
Bearing capacity is the ability of the underlying soil to support the foundation loads without shear failure. Bearing capacity factors are empirically derived factors used in a bearing capacity equation that usually correlates with the angle of internal friction of the soil.
Would engineered fill improve the Safe bearing capacity of soil?
Yes, it can improve the bearing capacity but the extent has to be seen with other conditions like soil, mode of filling, treatment given. In fact this was done in delhi to counter site conditions.
What are the fundamental requirements for building a foundation?
Load bearing capacity of the soil
What is the difference and connection between soil mechanics and foundation engineering?
soil mechanics is the science dealing with soil to knowing ,type of soil , bearing capacity of the slackening weakness and strength of the soil and by soil mechanics can we give a recommendation to the designer Foundation engineering is design of foundation of any projects ,building ,factories ,stores ....)the design of foundation type depended on the bearing capacity of the soil of the concerned site of the project.
Formula for bearing capacity of soil given that nc?
Refer to page 8 of IS 6403 1981 ,
What is a soil compaction test?
Bearing capacity of soil

What is the formula for calculating the Bearing Capacity?
Bearing capacity of soil= Load carried by soil / unit Area Definition : The safly retained capacity by soil is termed as SBC(Safe Bearing Capacity) of soil. While you design a footing , it is the main factor to consider . To calculate the area of footing Area of footing = load/ SBC
Would engineered fill improve the Safe bearing capacity of soil?
Yes, it can improve the bearing capacity but the extent has to be seen with other conditions like soil, mode of filling, treatment given. In fact this was done in delhi to counter site conditions.
What is lbc of jayankondam soil?
load bearing capacity
What is the difference between bearing capacity and bearing pressure?
bearing capacity is the capacity of soil or strata that can be able to sustain the load of superstructure in the unit of load per m2 either ton/m2 or KN/m2 bearing pressure is nothing but bearing capacity example when you apply 100 KN on a unit area, equal opposite pressure will rise from the soil. load / area = bearing capacity
What is the link between CBR and bearing capacity if you get figures in CBR how can you link them to the bearing capacity in kPa?
The link between CBR and bearing capacity if you get figures in CBR how can you link them to the bearing capacity in kPa, this is the link in soil testing.
How do you improve the bearing capacity of slit soil?
The bearing capacity of slit soil with geogrid will be improved with the direct application of geogrid. However, the application of geocell or geocell/geo slurry mixture between the two layers of geo crumb will bring better results. If the slit soil is very weak due to the softness, then the application of geogrid to the existing soil will improve the bearing capacity of the soil. Also, the application of geogrid initially may improve the bearing capacity of the soil, but your effort will be diverted when the soil becomes dry and when the soil is loaded or the internal friction angle of the soil is reduced.
How Bearing capacity of soil can be calculated from spt n values?
SPT n Values can help to calculate the Bearing Capacity of any soil specimen as they will combine to change the density of the soil by extracting various chemicals such as helium and hydrogen.
What is the minimum length of pile foundation?
its depend on the soil bearing capacity
What are the fundamental requirements for building a foundation?
Load bearing capacity of the soil
What is the range of soil bearing capacity at Pasay City?
As of 2013, the range of soil bearing capacity at Pasay City is 145. Pasay City makes up the Metro Manila in the Philippines and in 2010 the population was 392,869.
