How to Calculate Depth of Footing given Factor of Safety and Safe Bearing Capacity?
Depth of Footing given Factor of Safety and Safe Bearing Capacity calculator uses Depth of Footing = ((Safe Bearing Capacity*Factor of Safety)-((Cohesion of Soil*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion)+(0.5*Unit Weight of Soil*Width of Footing*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight)))/(Unit Weight of Soil*Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge) to calculate the Depth of Footing, The Depth of Footing given Factor of Safety and Safe Bearing Capacity is defined as the safe bearing capacity by the factor of safety for stability. Depth of Footing is denoted by D symbol.
How to calculate Depth of Footing given Factor of Safety and Safe Bearing Capacity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth of Footing given Factor of Safety and Safe Bearing Capacity, enter Safe Bearing Capacity (qsa), Factor of Safety (fs), Cohesion of Soil (Cs), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion (Nc), Unit Weight of Soil (γ), Width of Footing (B), Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight (Nγ) & Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge (Nq) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depth of Footing given Factor of Safety and Safe Bearing Capacity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 3.394444 = ((70000*2.8)-((5000*9)+(0.5*18000*2*1.6)))/(18000*2.01).
