About the soil bearing capacity tool

Determine the design bearing pressure R beneath an isolated footing per §4.6.9 (formula 15) TCVN 9362:2012.

What you enter

Footing geometry, embedment depth, and the soil's mechanical properties: internal friction angle φ, cohesion c and unit weight γ.

What the results mean

Bearing factors A, B, D looked up from TCVN 9362:2012 tables and the design pressure R (kN/m²) to compare against the actual applied pressure.

When to use this tool

Sizing the footing base in foundation coursework; quickly verifying p ≤ R before detailed calculations begin.

Calculation method

This tool determines the design pressure R of the subgrade beneath an isolated footing per TCVN 9362:2012 §4.6.9 (formula (15)).

Enter the footing geometry, embedment depth and soil mechanical parameters (internal friction angle, unit cohesion, unit weight); the tool looks up the three coefficients A, B, D from the TCVN 9362:2012 tables and computes the design pressure R to compare against the actual pressure transferred to the soil.
