Bearing capacity of soil can be estimated by theoraticl calculation from empirical formula and field test. Both values from both have a relation that can help to estimate each others.
Four locations on King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang’s clay were explored and tested . Plate bearing tests were done at 0.30-0.50 m. deep from ground surface. Collected data were analysed and interpreted by Chin’s and Mazurkiewicz’s related to Hansen’s by qcalculated = 1.03 qexperiment. Average ultimate bearing capacity was 20.16 t/m2 and divided by safty factor 3.5 . So allowable bearing capacity was 5.76 t/m2
