The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. The maximum load per unit area which the soil or rock can carry without yielding or displacement is termed as bearing capacity of soil. Soil properties like shear strength, density, permeability etc., affect the bearing capacity of soil. To deal with the difficulties involved, in this project an attempt has been made to model safe bearing capacity of soil in terms of Depth of foundation (Df), Dry density(Gammad), Liquid limit (WL), Plasticity...
