Looking for bearing pressures

[jmerced]

I am looking for a good source or chart/table for presumed/probable bearing capacities of various compacted fill soil types at various compaction (90% to 95%) specifications.

Any help locating a source would be appreciated.

Try NAVFAC Soil Mechanics Design Manual 7.2, Table 1, Page 7.2-142. It lists presumptive bearing pressures for spread foundations on various subgrade materials.

See bottom of web page for downloadqable files.

Thanks for the tip. However, when I try to download that manual their link does not work. I browsed their FTP contents but still can't locate #15. Any other places you can get it?

Try this site for DM-7.1 and 7.2

Thanks! Great table on page 64 of 7.02.
