Each load test curve was evaluated consistently to determine the interpreted failure load (i.e., bearing capacity) using the L1-L2 method. This test value then was compared with the theoretical bearing capacity, computed primarily using the basic Vesić model. The comparisons show that, for footing widths B>1 m , the field results agree very well with the Vesić predictions.
