Appendix V: 9 Typical Allowable Bearing Capacities
| Material | Allowable Bearing |
| Capacity (kN/m²) | |
| Plain concrete | 2000 - 6000 |
| Masonry or brickwork | 1500 - 5000 |
| Compact sands and gravels | 300 - 600 |
| Loose sands and gravels | 150 - 400 |
| Solid non-fissured rocks | 600 - 3000 |
| Hard clays and soft rocks | 300 - 600 |
| Stiff clays and sandy clays | 150 - 300 |
| Firm clays and sandy days | 75 - 150 |
| Soft clays and silts | 0 - 75 |
| Fill and made ground | Variable |
Note: The above values for soils apply where the foundation is 1m or more wide and at a depth of at least 0.6m. The allowable bearing capacity is about one-third of the ultimate bearing capacity.
