Calculating Bearing Capacity Using Excel Spreadsheets
Bearing Capacity Calculator
Calculating bearing capacity using Excel spreadsheets is a practical, concept-oriented approach for geotechnical engineers and designers. By organizing key soil parameters such as cohesion, internal friction angle, and unit weight into structured spreadsheets, engineers can streamline complex calculations into manageable, step-by-step processes. Excel allows for the efficient application of various bearing capacity methods, such as Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen and Vesic’s equations, with built-in formulas that simplify the determination of foundation performance under different loading conditions. These methods take into account different factors such as soil type, depth, shape, and load conditions, ensuring comprehensive analysis. The concept-oriented design of the spreadsheet not only clarifies the relationships between variables but also enables easy adjustments to parameters, making it ideal for optimizing designs and testing multiple scenarios. This approach improves both the accuracy of calculations and the clarity of data presentation for project documentation and reporting, while allowing engineers to apply industry-standard methods seamlessly.

Terzaghi, Hansen, Vesic, and Meyerhof developed foundational methods in geotechnical engineering for calculating soil bearing capacity. Terzaghi’s method, the earliest and most straightforward, provided a basic bearing capacity formula based on three key factors. Hansen built upon this by adding correction factors for foundation shape, depth, and load inclination. Vesic further enhanced the method, integrating plasticity theory for more accurate predictions under complex conditions. Meyerhof introduced a more generalized bearing capacity formula that accounted for the foundation’s shape, depth, and load inclination, providing a comprehensive approach to bearing capacity estimation.
