Sufiyan says:

Dear Sir, I am working on a residential project (G+6) as a structural engineer. I am confident about my structural engineering knowledge in dealing with building design, but I am finding it a bit difficult to asses the bearing capacity at the site. Could u pls suggest how should I judge it at site, and less expensive method for assessing the bearing capacity at site. Going for soil exploration and boring is a bit costly affair.
Thanks,
Sufiyan
