1806.2 Allowable bearing pressure.
BC § 1806.2
The allowable bearing pressure for supporting soil and rock shall not exceed the values specified in Table 1806.1, unless data to substantiate the use of a higher value are developed and contained in the engineer's geotechnical report, and the commissioner approves such value. Allowable bearing pressure shall be considered to be the pressure at the base of a foundation in excess of the effective stress existing at the same level prior to construction operations.
