Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect on the bearing capacity load of the brick by incorporation of small amount of alumina into the bricks should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Load bearing capacity − This is general term used in soil. The load bearing capacity is defined as the capacity of the soil against the applied load by the foundation. Without displacement, the maximum average weight can be determined by the load bearing capacity.

This load bearing capacity mainly affects the density, shear strength and permeability also.

Types of bearing capacity −

  1. Ultimate bearing capacity
  2. Safe bearing capacity
  3. Gross bearing capacity
