Do you know what the formula is for design bearing pressure? We do! The design bearing pressure equals the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a suitable factor of safety. The ultimate bearing capacity is the loading intensity that causes failure, lateral displacement of foundation materials, and rapid settlement… We know ^this^ so you don’t have to! Pictured is one of our technicians performing a DCP Test. DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetration) testing is used to determine the strength of the subsurface and the design load of the soil. The engineers perform the testing in-situ to estimate the load-bearing capacity the soil can withstand by measuring the extent of penetration into the ground of a calibrated tip or cone. #EngineeringExcellence #SoilTesting #DCPTesting #GeotechnicalEngineering #FoundationDesign #ConstructionScience #LoadBearingCapacity #TeamTriad
