Abstract

The proper evaluation of bearing capacity of soil is needed for stability of buildings resting on foundation. The aim of this study is determining the allowable bearing capacity of soils. The computations of carrying capacity of soil were done by collecting the results obtained from laboratory. Some of the index and Engineering properties were investigated. The shear strength parameters were determined using unconsolidated undrained direct shear test. The applied analytical methods for determination of this pressure are Terzhagi, Meyerhof and Vesic bearing capacity equations. The allowable bearing capacity values obtained for typical isolated rectangular footing, (BxL=1mx3m), were calculated by the above mentioned authors. Accordingly, the results for test pit (TP1) are 2537.6, 3527.4 and 3185.8kPa; and for TP2 are 743.9, 946.6 and 1020.6kPa respectively. These values are responsible for supporting high rise buildings.
