Safe Bearing Capacity in Terzaghi's Analysis Shear Failure Theories Formulas
Safe Bearing Capacity is the maximum pressure which the soil can carry safely without risk of shear failure. And is denoted by q
sa
. Safe Bearing Capacity is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Safe Bearing Capacity is always positive.

FAQ
What is the Safe Bearing Capacity?
Safe Bearing Capacity is the maximum pressure which the soil can carry safely without risk of shear failure. Safe Bearing Capacity is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Safe Bearing Capacity is always positive.
Can the Safe Bearing Capacity be negative?
No, the Safe Bearing Capacity, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Safe Bearing Capacity?
Safe Bearing Capacity is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Square Meter[kN/m²] for Pressure. Pascal[kN/m²], Kilopascal[kN/m²], Bar[kN/m²] are the few other units in which Safe Bearing Capacity can be measured.
