The soil below the foundation should be strong enough to withstand the load of the entire structure. The load of foundation is compressive, but shear force also enacts due to lateral forces on soil. This strength for resisting the compressive stress is called 'Bearing Capacity of Soil'. The purpose of a soil investigation is to determine the engineering properties of soils at the proposed site. Soil data is used to Predict the behavior of the foundation. Minimize uncertainties in foundation design. #foundation #CivilEngineer #constructionsite
