Calculation of Safe Bearing Capacity As Per IS 6403 - 1981

This document provides calculations to determine the safe bearing capacity of soil at different bore hole locations based on IS 6403 - 1981. It includes parameters like footing width and length, soil properties of cohesion, internal friction angle, bulk unit weight. It then calculates factors for shape, depth, inclination and determines bearing capacity factors. Using these values, it calculates the safe bearing capacity considering local shear failure. It is found that the safe bearing capacity ranges from 106.12 kN/m2 to 262.98 kN/m2 across different bore holes. It also provides calculations to determine the safe bearing capacity of 225 kN/m2 for a raft foundation of size 25m x 160m based on shear failure and settlement
