Definición

  • Information The bearing capacity of a foundation is the maximum load per unit area that the supporting soil can sustain without shear failure (Terzaghi, 1943). More generally, bearing capacity may also refer to the maximum pressure that other supporting materials (such as rock, ice, timber, concrete, or piles) can sustain without failure or excessive deformation.
