Calculate Bearing Pressure (Pbearing)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Bearing Pressure (Pbearing) is:

\[ Pbearing = \frac{UBC}{FS} \]

What is Bearing Pressure?

Bearing pressure is the pressure exerted by a structure on the soil or foundation beneath it. It is calculated by dividing the ultimate bearing capacity by the factor of safety. This measure is crucial in geotechnical engineering to ensure that the foundation can safely support the loads imposed by the structure.

Example

Let's say the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) is 300 kN/m², and the factor of safety (FS) is 3. Using the formula:

\[ Pbearing = \frac{300}{3} = 100 \text{ kN/m²} \]

So, the Bearing Pressure (Pbearing) is 100 kN/m².
