    This document is a spreadsheet used to solve two examples (Examples 8.3 and 8.4) from the textbook "Elements of Soil Mechanics, 8th Edition". The spreadsheet allows the user to input soil property values and see how it affects the ultimate bearing capacity and safety factors for rectangular footings under both undrained and drained conditions. It also displays the calculations and bearing capacity factors used to determine the results. The spreadsheet is intended as a learning aid to accompany the relevant textbook sections.

    Elements of Soil Mechanics, 8th Edition

    Examples 8.3 and 8.4

    This spreadsheet is used to solve Examples 8.3 and 8.4.

    Although the worksheet contains the data for Examples 8.3 & 8.4 from the
    data may be changed so that the reader can see the effect of varying the
    foundation dimensions etc.
