eng.soil-bearing-capacity Calculator
Calculates allowable soil bearing capacity from soil cohesion, friction angle, and foundation geometry using Terzaghi's bearing capacity equations. Bearing capacity failure is a shear failure of soil beneath the foundation — the three Terzaghi terms represent general, local, and punching shear modes.
