Keywords : BEARING CAPACITY SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS Abstract :To determine the bearing capacity and settlement from theoretical methods suggested by several scientists, laboratory test results conducted on undisturbed soil samples are required. But it is extremely difficult to collect undisturbed soil samples of cohesionless soils. In this situations, soil parameters are determined from field tests only. SPT is one of the most economical, simple and reliable field test which is generally used in cohesionless soils. Number of empirical relationships are available between corrected N- values and relative are density, unit weight, angle of internal frication etc for cohesionless soils. Bearing capacities and settlement of shallow foundations founded on cohesionless soils are determined based on corrections suggested by different scientists.
