This study examined how the bearing capacity of soil is affected by the degree of saturation. Tests were conducted on soil samples from 5 sites to determine properties like moisture content, density, grain size, cohesion, and friction angle. Triaxial tests under dry, saturated, and field conditions were used to establish relationships between saturation and shear strength. Bearing capacity was calculated using Terzaghi's equation for a square footing. Results showed that bearing capacity decreases with increasing saturation as friction angle reduces, despite increases in cohesion and density. An equation was proposed relating bearing capacity and degree of saturation. The study concluded saturation significantly impacts bearing capacity in coarse-grained soils due to effects on friction angle.
