FAQ

What is the safety factor in foundation design?

The safety factor accounts for uncertainties in soil properties and load calculations. Typical values range between 2-4 depending on soil conditions and building codes.

How is foundation area calculated?

Foundation Area = (Total Load × Safety Factor) ÷ Soil Bearing Capacity. This calculator automatically adjusts dimensions based on your preferred length/width inputs.
