Calculation of Effective Bearing Capacity after Remedial Works

Suspected Length

Ls

Original Length: Lo

Le

Effective Length

Original Bearing Capacity

Qu= Qt + Qsi
Qt = A x qt, Qsi = fi x Lo

Bearing Capacity without remedy

Qu= 0 x Qt + Qsi
Qsi = fi x Le
Bearing Capacity after remedy
Qu= Qt + Qsi

Original Area: A

Qt = 0.7 x A x qt, Qsi = fi x Le

Effective Area
0.7 x A
Deduction Area
0.3 x A

Following Construction control, maximum deduction area

is to be 30%, usually less than 30 %
