Foundation Bearing Calculator (GB 50007)

Correct characteristic bearing capacity fa and check eccentric base pressures per GB 50007, with optional footing self-weight.

  1. Enter N, Mx/My, footing L×B, embedment depth and optional thickness
  2. Enter fak, soil type (ηbd) and unit weights
  • fa = fak + ηbγ(b−3) + ηdγm(d−0.5)
  • Inside kern: pkmax/min = N/A ± M/W; with eccentricity often pkmax≤1.2 fa

Keep eccentricity within L/6 and B/6 when possible. For preliminary checks only. Runs locally in your browser.
