    The document provides calculations to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of a foundation with dimensions of 2.25m x 2.25m located 1.5m below the surface. It references soil mechanics literature and uses SI units. The calculations will determine the bearing capacity with the water table well below the surface and with the water table at the surface.
