Bearing Capacity All Methods

This document contains the results of analyzing the bearing capacity of shallow foundations using four different methods: Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen, and Vesic. For each method, the inputs such as soil properties, foundation geometry, and safety factor are provided. The computations and results for ultimate and allowable bearing capacities are also shown for each analysis method.
