Bearing Capacity

This document contains technical specifications and calculations for a soil analysis, including soil properties, imposed load cases, and factor of safety calculations. It lists soil parameters for fine-grained sand and clay layers, including thickness, shear strength, unit weight, and consolidation properties. It also provides worst-case load combinations and calculations for ultimate bearing capacity, factored load, and factor of safety against bearing capacity failure. The analysis indicates the factored loads are less than the ultimate capacity and a factor of safety of 3 or greater is achieved.
