What is the load bearing capacity of Graval?

The bearing capacity of gravel depends on it's level of compaction and also on the presence of pore water.*However the following presumed values for bearing capacity have been quoted in text books:A,+Compact gravel and compacted sandy gravel - 600 kPaMedium dense gravel and sandy gravel - 200-600 kPaLoose gravel and sandy loose gravel - 200 kPa.*NB These presumed bearing capacities are for footings with a width (B) greater than 1m and where the depth to the phreatic surface is greater than B below the base of the footing.+ There are a number of empirical formulations used in geotechnical engineering to calculate bearing capacity of footings on soils however they cannot be reproduced effectively here.A Cobb, F. (2009). Structural Engineer'sPocket Book. Second edition. Oxford, Butterworth-Heinemann.

Does gravel absorb more water than soil?

Gravel does not absorb water as much as soil. Gravel has larger pore spaces and lacks the fine particles that help retain water, so water tends to flow through gravel more easily. Soil, on the other hand, has small pores that can hold and retain water.
