Bearing capacity Method: C-φ

This module calculates the bearing capacity of an isolated or strip footing from the soil shear strength properties (C-φ method, or laboratory method) according to the standards:

  • Eurocode 7 application standard (NF P 94 261);
  • DTR BC 2.331;
  • DTU 13.12.

In accordance with NF P 94 261, CiviLab considers both cases, namely:

  • Undrained conditions;
  • Drained conditions.

Based on the soil properties, the foundation shape and the chosen standard, CiviLab automatically determines the following factors:

  • The bearing capacity factors Nc, Nq and Nγ;
  • The base inclination factors bc, bq and bγ;
  • The shape factors sc, sq and sγ;
  • The load inclination factors ic, iq and iγ.

CiviLab allows you to:

  • Calculate the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation according to several standards;
  • Produce high-quality reports;
  • Archive reports properly.

With our soil software "CiviLab", you can easily perform the calculations for this test and archive the test reports properly. CiviLab also produces high-quality reports and archives them properly
