Bearing Capacity Calculator (Meyerhof Method)

Compute ultimate bearing capacity using Meyerhof's extended formula with shape, depth, and inclination correction factors for shallow foundations.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Compute ultimate bearing capacity using Meyerhof's extended formula with shape, depth, and inclination correction factors for shallow foundations

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Meyerhof's extended formula — The meyerhof's extended formula recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the meyerhof bearing capacity result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Meyerhof's extended formula for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Compute ultimate bearing capacity using Meyerhof's extended formula with shape, depth, and inclination correction factors for shallow foundations. Use the meyerhof bearing capacity result to inform your clinical assessment.
