  3. The load that causes immediate settlement
  4. The load that causes long-term consolidation

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow foundation?
  • Step 1: Understand what a shallow foundation is. It is a type of foundation that is placed close to the ground surface.
  • Step 2: Learn about bearing capacity. This is the ability of soil to support loads from structures.
  • Step 3: Know that ultimate bearing capacity is the highest load that soil can handle before it fails or collapses.
  • Step 4: Remember that this capacity is measured in units like pounds per square foot (psf) or kilopascals (kPa).
  • Step 5: Realize that engineers calculate this capacity to ensure buildings and structures are safe and stable.
