TABLE 2.

2 PRESUMPTIVE SAFE BEARING CAPACITY ( IS: 1904-1961 )

Note 1. Compactness or loosenEss of non-cohesive matenais may be determined by driving a
wooden picket of dimension 5cm x 5 cm x lOcm with a sharp point. The picket shall be
pushed vertically into the soil by full weight of a person and if the penetration of the picket
exceeds 20 cm, the loose state shall be asaumed to exist.

Note 2. No generalised values for presumptive safe bearing capacities can be given for these
types of soils. In such area, adequate site investigation shall be carried out and expert advice
shall be sought.

Note 3. Peat may occur in a very soft spongy condition or may be quite firm and compact.
While ultimate bearing capacity may be high in the compact cases very large consolidation
settlements occur even under small presures and the movements continue for decades.

Note 4. The strength of made-up ground depends on the nature of the material, its depth and
age, and the method used for consolidating it.

Note 5. The presumptive safe bearing values may be increased by an amount equal to weight
of the material (virgin soil) removed from above the bearing level, that is, the base of the
foundation.

Note 6. For non-coheisve soils, the presumptive safe bearing values shall be reduced by 50
percent if the water table is above or near the bearing surface of the soil. If the water table is
below tje bearing surface of the soil at a distance at least equal to the width of the foundation,
no such reduction shall apply. For intermediate depths of the water table, proportional
reduction of presumptive safe bearing value may be made.

DESIGN OF FOUNDATIONS - PRESUMPTIVE BEARING CAPACITY

VALUES FROM CODES.

For the design of foundations of lightly loaded structures and for a preliminary design of any
structure the presumptive safe bearing capacity may be used. The presumptive safe bearing
capacities of various types of soils are given in Table 2.2.
