    Bearing capacity for Calcarenite rock for mat foundation

    Thanks Geotechguy1 for your reply. Yes, they have done UCS test. I Uploaded in the previous reply. To me 2.64 MPa seems low. Typically we get 400/500 MPa for the area of the project. “cheeky structural engineering thing and taking that allowable bearing and converting it into soil springs for...

    Bearing capacity for Calcarenite rock for mat foundation

    Thanks EireChch for yours reply. I am attaching here what he provided from the UCS test. It was estimated to be 2.64 MPa as a mean for a frequency distribution with the number of tests they did. https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7546a429-9aaa-4758-8c62-626c314a29ee&file=IMG_2491.jpeg

    Bearing capacity for Calcarenite rock for mat foundation

    Hello, I have a geotechnical report that estimates the allowable bearing capacity for isolated footing and raft foundation on a site predominantly composed of Calcarenite sedimentary rock. The geotechnical engineer estimated the bearing capacity for a raft foundation to be 2600 kPa, which, in...
