    bearing capacity is the capacity of any soil to bear loads from any structure
    safe: the capacity to be safe
    ultimate: the capacity multiply by the ultimate factor depending on code(in Egypt is 1.5)

    Bearing capacity: It is the load supported by power of soil.
    Safe:It is the maximum pressure which a soil can carry without risk of failure.

    Ultimate Bearing capacity allows rupture in soil to a permissible extent
    Safe with out out any possible damage to the soil

    Bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation of a structure and the soil that does not shear failure in the soil.
    Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure that can be supported without failure.
    Allowable bearing capacity is the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a factor of safety.
