the allowable soil pressure qa is
Note that the allowable pressure qa is very large, and the actual soil pressure qact is also large.
Some geotechnical consultants routenly limit the maximum allowable soil pressure to around 500
kPa in recommendations to clients for design wheter settlement is a factor or not. Small footings
with large column loads are visually not very confidence-inspiring during construction, and with
such a large load involved this in cetainly not the location to be excessively conservative.
