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.
