The Bearing Capacity Question That Stumps Everyone on the FE & PE Exams
Description
đ¨ Hereâs by far the most asked question inside our FE and PE courses: âShould I use the Ultimate or Net Bearing Capacity to find the Allowable Bearing Capacity?â đ¤
That question comes up in our student-only community every single year, multiple times, and rightfully so.
Reference manuals tell you to find the Net value and then use it to find the Allowable Bearing Capacity. But then, in the solutions to the problems, it uses the Ultimate value directly.
Like, âWhat the heck?!â đ¨
But donât worryâŚ.weâve got your back. đ
Over the years, weâve shared a little-known trick with our students so they know which one to use on exam day. And in this episode, weâre sharing it with you as well. đ
Tune in to learn about this trickâŚand youâll never get this wrong anymore in your exam prep. Thatâs a promise. đ
