Foundation

This document summarizes the calculation of bearing capacity for a foundation with a design base at -5.5m from ground. For combination 1 loading, the bearing capacity is 142 kN/m^2 based on a characteristic undrained shear strength of 15 kN/m^2. For combination 2 loading and increased load and soil factors, the bearing capacity is 115.56 kN/m^2 based on a reduced characteristic undrained shear strength of 10.714 kN/m^2. Key parameters described include the foundation geometry, soil properties, load factors, and equations used to calculate the bearing capacity.
