Safe Bearing Capacity Calculation For Shallow Foundation (IRC Subtructure Code, IS: 6403, IS: 8009 Part I, IS: 1904)

This document summarizes the calculation of safe bearing capacity for a shallow foundation for a telecom tower in Kotelbeda. Key details include: - The foundation is a square shaped isolated footing with dimensions of 3m x 3m located at a depth of 2m below ground level. - The bearing soil is medium dense brownish sand with silt with an average SPT N value of 50 and angle of internal friction of 25 degrees. - Calculations based on shear criteria and settlement criteria yield a safe bearing capacity (qns) of 14.9 t/m2. - All factors like shape, depth, water table were considered in the calculations as per Indian code IS 6
