    High tensile steel is used for prestressed concrete. According to strength, can be classified as 1470MPa, 1570MPa, 1670MPa, 1770MPa and 1860MPa. According to diameters 4mm, 4.8mm, 5.0mm, 5.1mm, 6.0mm, 6.35mm, 7.0mm, 7.8mm. etc Basically that wire called tendon

    The bearing capacity means the soil can transfer the load safely from the foundation to the soil strata without excessive settlement and without any type of failure.

    Soil bearing capacity can be identify by some test:

    • Dynamic cone penitration test
    • Static cone penitration test
    • Plate load test
    • CBR test

    Those all test are conducted at site to identify soil bearing capacity.

    Two criteria majorly accounted for foundation failure

    1. Excessive settlement and relative settlement
    2. Shear failure of soil (punching failure, local shear failure and general shear failure)
