Question

What are the factors influencing the bearing capacity?

Answer 1

The amount of total and differential settlement is one of the main controlling factors for the bearing capacity of the soil. The relative density in the case of granular soil and consistency in the case of cohesive soil play a decisive role in influencing the bearing capacity.

Answer:

The bearing capacity of soil is influenced by many factors for instance soil strength, foundation width and depth, soil weight and surcharge, and spacing between foundations. These factors are related to the loads exerted on the soil and considerably affect the bearing capacity.
