Foundation Engineering – Bearing Capacity Comparison of Classic Methods | Terzaghi, Vesic, and Meyerhof | Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets

[GEO-2025-0103] – By Dr. Ahmad Fahmi

We are pleased to present the Bearing Capacity Comparison of Classic Methods spreadsheet pack, part of the Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets (2025-1) collection. This comprehensive set includes 15 powerful spreadsheets designed to help soil mechanics professionals and students compare bearing capacity using the classic methods of Terzaghi, Vesic, and Meyerhof. The pack allows you to calculate bearing capacity factors, shape and depth factors, and analyze solutions for different foundation types.

These spreadsheets are essential for foundation engineers, geotechnical engineers, and students who need to understand and apply these classic methods for real-world foundation design.
