In this webinar we address a common question from users about the discrepancies between results obtained using the bearing capacity equation and Optum’s software. Discover the conditions under which the bearing capacity equation yields exact results and understand the reasons behind the differences in other cases.
Key points from the webinar
- Learn about scenarios where the bearing capacity equation provides precise results for verification purposes.
- Understand the high precision of the bearing equation for design and verification in most instances.
- Explore why discrepancies occur and what distinguishes the bearing capacity equation from Optum’s software in specific cases.
