33 / 11 KV Substation Works in Safia For FEWA: Bearing Capacity & Settlement Calculation Sheet

This document provides calculations for bearing capacity and settlement of foundations for a substation project. It includes details of the footing dimensions and depths. Calculations are shown for allowable bearing capacity and estimated settlement for different footing widths based on soil profile and properties data from six boreholes. The recommended maximum net bearing pressures are 220 kPa for the 20m wide footing and 200 kPa for the 4m wide footing, based on considering both bearing capacity and estimated settlement.
