Cramming the Specificities in Contemplating Safe Bearing Capacity for the Foundation Assessed from Borehole Samples in a Sandy-Moorum Zone

Table 1

Safe bearing pressure of borehole samples.

Borehole no.	Depth (m)	Type of sample	SPT “N” value	Square footing (2.0  m × 2.0  m)		Settlement (mm)	Safe bearing pressure (SBP) (T/m^2 for 50 mm settlement)
				Net safe bearing capacity (NSBC) (T/m^2)	Safe bearing capacity (SBC) (T/m^2)
