LAND SUPPORT CALCULATION

   

In general, the typical problem in determining the carrying capacity of the land is, among others, the depth of the groundwater and in the construction of buildings, roads and runways, is "settlement" due to loading. Therefore for buildings with large column loads, the foundation is always placed in the hard soil layer.

         the definition of land here is that which is needed in the planning of building foundations or other buildings must be taken into account to find out whether the soil layer in question is strong enough to withstand foundation loads without shear failure. Where in this case depends on the shear strength of the soil.

         Factors that need to be considered in calculating the foundation of the carrying capacity of the land are as follows:

a. Adequate safety factor so as not to collapse.

b. Allowable carrying capacity of foundation soil.

c. Whether or not there is a groundwater level.
