Content Page: 5 Maximum Allowable Bearing Pressure On, And Maximum Safe Bearing Capacity Of Subsoil

(1) Empirical values.- The net loading intensity applied to the subsoil shall not exceed the maximum allowable bearing pressure of the subsoil, and such maximum allowable bearing pressure shall in no case exceed the maximum safe bearing capacity of the subsoil. (2) In the absence of tests or other supporting evidence, and subject to the…
