Bearing Pressure Calculator

What is a Bearing Pressure Calculator?

A bearing pressure calculator is a tool used in engineering to estimate the pressure exerted on a surface by an applied load.

It is particularly relevant in foundation design and soil mechanics.

Why use a Bearing Pressure Calculator?

1. Foundation Design: Helps in designing foundations by ensuring that the bearing pressure does not exceed allowable limits.
2. Soil Analysis: Assists in assessing the capacity of the soil to support applied loads.
3. Structural Safety: Ensures that the bearing pressure on the supporting surface is within acceptable limits.

How to use a Bearing Pressure Calculator:

1. Enter the applied load in pounds.
2. Enter the bearing area in square inches.
3. Click the "Calculate" button.
4. The calculator estimates the bearing pressure based on the provided inputs.

Example of Calculator:

Let's say you have the following information:

• Applied Load: 10,000 pounds
• Bearing Area: 100 square inches

Bearing Pressure: 100.00 psi
