The document calculates the safe bearing capacity of soil for a minor bridge footing that is 1.5m wide and 1.5m long, with a footing depth of 2m. It provides soil properties including a dry density of 1.78 t/m3, void ratio of 0.345, and angle of internal friction of 31 degrees. It then uses a factor of safety of 3 to calculate the safe bearing capacity based on established bearing capacity factors and equations from an Indian standard, finding the safe bearing capacity to be 49.583 t/m2.

Where,
F = Factor of Safety

Df = Effective depth of foundation
Nc,Nq,N = Bearing capacity factors
sc,sq,s = Shape factors
dc,dq,d = Depth factors
ic,iq,i = Inclination factors
sc = 1 + 0.2 x (B/L) =

s = 1 - 0.4 x (B/L) =

Assuming No Eccentricity,
ic=(1-/90)2 = 1.0

i=(1-/)2 = 1.0
Substituting above in the following equation,
