N = N value derived from Standard Penetration Test (SPT) D = depth of footing (m) (ft), and B = width of footing (m) (ft). Note: All Meyerhof equations are for foundations bearing on clean sands. The first equation is for ultimate bearing capacity, while the second two are factored...

Employing different design methods, resulting in a wide range of bearing capacity estimations, complicates the selection of an appropriate design scheme and confirms the existence of model error along with the inherent soil variability in bearing capacity prediction. This paper tends to evaluate ...
Prediction of the Axial Bearing Capacity of Piles by SPT-based and Numerical Design Methods The prediction of the axial capacity of piles has been a challenge since the beginning of the geotechnical engineering profession. In recent years determining bearing capacity of piles from in-situ testing da...
One of my ancient texts, Peck Hansen and Thorburn, "Foundation Engineering", shows tables from which you can get bearing capacity factors Nq and Ngamma for SAND, based on N values. For clays, PH&T say "the standard penetration test is not so reliable an indicator of the...
The objective of this study is to examine suitable cone penetration test (CPT)-based methods for predicting the load-bearing capacity of piles in silty soils. In addition, it is analysed whether standard penetration test (SPT)-based methods can be used with dynamic probing super heavy (DPSH-A...
of bearing capacity helps minimize the risk of excessive settlement or structural failure while facilitating an economical and effective foundation design. The standard penetration test (SPT), cone penetration test (CPT), pressuremeter test (PT), and plate load test (PLT) are the most popular ...
To determine the bearing capacity and settlement from theoretical methods suggested by several scientists, laboratory test results conducted on undisturbed soil samples are required. But it is extremely difficult to collect undisturbed soil samples of cohesionless soils.In this situations, soil parameters ...
PURPOSE: A method for evaluating the bearing capacity and settlement of in-situ using a Standard Penetration Test device and a device for measuring the bearing capacity and settlement of in-situ are provided to improve accuracy of a measured value.;CONSTITUTION: A device for measuring the bearing...
