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.


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.


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


Why a camel walk easily on sand but it is difficult for a man to walk on sand though a camel is much heavier than a man?

Sand has a very low bearing capacity. Hence, your feet tend to sink into it.While walking, you have to continually 'dig' yourself out of the sand with every step you take.


What is the bearing capacity of quicksand?

The bearing capacity of quicksand is typically low due to its unstable and fluid-like nature. Quicksand is a saturated mixture of sand and water that behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid, causing objects or people to sink when weight is applied.


Can sharp sand be compacted?

Yes, sharp sand can be compacted to increase its density and stability. This is often done by using compacting machinery such as rollers or plate compactors to apply pressure evenly across the surface of the sand. Compacting sharp sand helps to improve its load-bearing capacity and is commonly done in construction and landscaping projects.


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


How do you calculate the load bearing capacity of scaffolding?

Before you can calculate the load bearing capacity of a scaffold, you will need to know there are three types of scaffolding; light duty, medium duty, and heavy duty. Now you can calculate the load bearing capacity by using the height to base ratio.

How do you increase bearing capacity of soil?

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 capacityThe use of geosynthetics may act to increase bearing capacityThe use of lime stabilisation / soil mixing techniques may also act to increase the bearing capacity of silt.
