Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas
The Ultimate Bearing Capacity is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear. And is denoted by q
f
. Ultimate Bearing Capacity is usually measured using the Kilopascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Ultimate Bearing Capacity is always positive.

FAQ
What is the Ultimate Bearing Capacity?
The Ultimate Bearing Capacity is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear. Ultimate Bearing Capacity is usually measured using the Kilopascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Ultimate Bearing Capacity is always positive.
Can the Ultimate Bearing Capacity be negative?
No, the Ultimate Bearing Capacity, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Ultimate Bearing Capacity?
Ultimate Bearing Capacity is usually measured using the Kilopascal[kPa] for Pressure. Pascal[kPa], Bar[kPa], Pound Per Square Inch[kPa] are the few other units in which Ultimate Bearing Capacity can be measured.
