Soil Details: Enter Both Length and Width

The document provides soil details, foundation details, and safety factors for calculating the bearing capacity of a rectangular foundation. It then shows the bearing capacity calculations and determines the actual, net, and ultimate bearing stresses. It also calculates the settlement including elastic and consolidation components.
