Foundation Engineering – Bearing Capacity Calculator (All Methods) | Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets

[GEO-2025-0102-A] – By Dr. Ahmad Fahmi

We are excited to introduce the Bearing Capacity Calculator spreadsheet pack, which includes the Terzaghi, Vesic, Hansen, and Meyerhof methods for foundation design. This set includes 14 comprehensive spreadsheets designed for geotechnical engineers and foundation design professionals. The pack helps you perform bearing capacity calculations, incorporating shape and depth factors for each method, and provides detailed solutions for various foundation scenarios.

What’s Included in the 14 Spreadsheets?

  1. Start: GEOtExcel: Foundation Engineering – Bearing Capacity Calculator – Overview and introduction sheet.
  2. Problem: Problem page for foundation calculations, considering various student IDs and specifications.
  3. Problem-public: Problem page for public access, tailored for various foundation calculations.
  4. N Factors: Bearing Capacity Factors (Nc, Nq, Ng) – Formulas for all methods.
  5. Bearing-Capacity Factors: Comprehensive calculation of bearing capacity factors (Nc, Nq, Ng) for different scenarios.
  6. Shape & Depth Factors: Comprehensive shape and depth factors for Vesic, Hansen, and Meyerhof methods.
