What is the Bearing Capacity of Soil? I Geotechnical Engineering I TGC Ask Andrew EP 4

Whenever a load is placed on the ground, the ground must have the capacity to support it without excessive settlement or failure. Understanding load bearing capacity is vital to avoiding excessive settlement or failure. In this video, Andrew discusses the bearing capacity of soil and why ground bearing pressure is important.
