    Soil bearing capacity can be determined by below methods:-

    1. Penetration test
    2. Centrifuge test
    3. Analytical method
    4. Plate bearing test
    5. Modern testing method
    6. Presumptive analysis

    Methods for estimating bearing capacity of soil

    1. Analytical methods involving the use of soil parameters
      • Rankine’s Analysis
      • Terzaghi’s Analysis
    2. Plate load test
    3. Penetration test
      • Standard penetration test
      • Dutch cone test
    4. Presumptive bearing capacity values from codes

    To find SBC there is several several methods like

    • Presumptive sample Analysis
    • Analytical Methods
    • Plate Bearing Test (for settlement & modulus of subgrade reaction)
    • Penetration Test (dcpt cpt etc)
    • Modern Testing Methods (modified test)

     

    In site we use generally penitration test

    In penitration test, 63.5kg hammer are fall from 75cm height free fall and note down reading of penitration

    From penitration we can find SBC.
