Calculate ultimate and allowable soil bearing capacity using Terzaghi's principles.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides essential geotechnical engineering tools to determine soil bearing capacity. It implements Terzaghi's bearing capacity theory, accounting for foundation geometry, soil properties, and groundwater influence. Engineers can use get_capacity_summary to generate complete reports or use specific tools like calculate_ultimate_capacity and calculate_allowable_capacity for targeted calculations. The toolset handles shape and depth factors, as well as buoyancy effects from groundwater, to provide accurate ultimate and safe working pressures.

Calculate the ultimate bearing capacity for a foundation 2m wide and 1.5m deep, with soil cohesion of 20 kPa, friction angle of 30 degrees, and unit weight of 18 kN/m³.

The calculated ultimate bearing capacity is 450.5 kPa.

What is the allowable bearing capacity if the ultimate capacity is 500 kPa and I need a safety factor of 3.0?

The allowable bearing capacity is 166.67 kPa.

Check the safety factor for an applied pressure of 120 kPa when the ultimate capacity is 400 kPa.

The current safety factor is 3.33.

The tool implements Terzaghi's bearing capacity theory, which is a fundamental method in geotechnical engineering for calculating soil strength.
