Maximum Soil Pressure in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas

Maximum Soil Pressure is the net intensity which is considered the ultimate bearing-capacity based on the quantity, settlement expected and the capability of a structure to bear this settlement. And is denoted by q _m. Maximum Soil Pressure is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Maximum Soil Pressure is always negative.
