Foundation Bearing Calculator (GB 50007)
Correct characteristic bearing capacity fa and check eccentric base pressures per GB 50007, with optional footing self-weight.
- Enter N, Mx/My, footing L×B, embedment depth and optional thickness
- Enter fak, soil type (ηb/ηd) 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.
