Bearing Capacity in an Excel spreadsheet: Vesic’s method
Vesic’s method is a widely used approach in geotechnical engineering for determining the bearing capacity of soils. Building on previous methods like Terzaghi’s, Vesic incorporated advancements in plasticity theory to account for more complex soil conditions. His method provides more accurate predictions by considering factors such as foundation shape, depth, soil compressibility, and load inclination. This makes it especially useful in cases involving layered soils, deep foundations, and variable load conditions, offering greater precision in assessing the stability and capacity of foundations.
