Notes: *Bearing capacity controls.

All values of footing pressure in units ofkPa.

Observed data from FHW A footing load tests at Texas A&M.

As can be seen, there is a wide range of allowable values of bearing capacity indicated in

Table 6.2. The method proposed by Parry (1977) gives the best comparison with the observed

values for all footings and gives the correct trend of decreasing allowable pressure with increasing

size of footing.
