G) Recommendation of Bearing Capacity
Safe Bearing capacity from Shear Criteria = 10 T/m2
For which final settlement is 71.60 mm which is less than permissible 75 mm,
Hence OK

Allowable Bearing Capacity for Foundation = 10 T/m2

22.82 t/m2 SBC is checked for settlement for which settlement was more then 75 mm which is not
permissible hence SBC is reduced to 10 t/m2 for which settlement would be about 71.60 mm which is
less then permissible 75mm
