Soil Bearing Pressure
(OP)
Is a soil bearing pressure requirement of 350 kpa, considered high for H20 loading ? How would bearing capacity be determined on granular fill in the field.

RE: Soil Bearing Pressure
CCivileng....you need to expand on your question a bit. Why are you asking about bearing capacity as related to bridge and pavement loading? Is your question for purposes of some part of a bridge structure? An approach structure? The pavement?
Yes, 350 kPa is a relatively high bearing pressure; however, more needs to be known about the parameters. Is this a bearing pressure at the bottom of a shaft at some depth below grade? If so, keep in mind that bearing capacity increases with depth of adjacent overburden.
Please expand and explain your question a bit so that more reasonable feedback can be given in the forum.
