Application on Soil Bearing Capacity by Using SPT Values

Abstract

In this paper, the application is designed for the calculation of the bearing capacity using the SPT values as per IS code 6403. Accordingly, the various input parameters that govern the bearing capacity of the soil are SPT value (N, depth of Footing, the width of foundation, length of footing, cohesion, unit weight, angle of inclination, types of footing, and depth of water table. The application is programmed in java language using the android studio 2.3 version. The proposed application is illustrated by using different screenshots at different steps. The application is further validated using the example from the literature.
