GEOtExcel Foundation Engineering – Bearing Capacity Calculator (Terzaghi Method)
Welcome to GEOtExcel, the most advanced and comprehensive collection of professional geotechnical spreadsheets for foundation engineering. Our Bearing Capacity Calculator spreadsheet set is designed for foundation engineers, geotechnical professionals, and students, featuring solutions and analysis of bearing capacity for various soil types, depth (Df), shear strength (f), and more. This pack allows easy calculation and comparison of bearing capacities based on Terzaghi’s method, as well as methods by Meyerhof, Hansen, and Vesić.
What’s Included in the GEOtExcel Bearing Capacity Calculator Pack?
This collection of 20 specialized spreadsheets is an essential tool for anyone in the field of foundation engineering. The spreadsheets provide:

- Bearing Capacity Factors: Bearing-capacity factors for the Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen, and Vesić methods.
- Formulas of the Factors: Detailed formulas for each of the bearing-capacity factors.
- Formulas for Factors (Image): A graphical representation of the bearing-capacity factors.
- Problem 01-Public: Problem Page: A foundation has a depth of Df, with soil considered for public student ID.
- Solution: Step-by-step solution to the problem.
- Variations: Solution considering the effect of variations in all parameters.
- Variations-B: Solution considering the effect of variation in the B parameter along with the graph.
- Variations-fi: Solution considering the effect of variation in the f parameter along with the graph.
- Variations-B&fi: Solution considering the effect of variation in both B and f parameters with graphs.
- Variations-Df: Solution considering the effect of variation in the Df parameter along with the graph.
- Variations-C: Solution considering the effect of variation in the C parameter along with the graph.
- Variations-gama: Solution considering the effect of variation in the g parameter along with the graph.
- Special Cases: Categorization of special cases.
- Special-01: Considering the special case where c’ = 0.
