Known Soil Capacity Bearing Resistance

In case the Soil capacity is known, this value can be used directly instead of using the EN 1997-1 bearing resistance calculation outlined above.

This procedure is applied in case the checkbox Known soil capacity, use Sigma oc is activated in the Geotechnical Design Setup.

The design value of the bearing resistance is calculated as follows:

Value	Formula
A'	Effective area as defined in "Determination of Effective Geometry"
	Read from the Subsoil Library
