Hello.
I had a soil report prepared. It says:
"To accommodate settlements / differential settlements up to 1.5 cm, a design value of the bearing pressure (EC 7) of 200 kN/m² can be assumed for an assumed effective foundation width of 1.0 m.
The floor slab is to be designed on the basis of an elastic bedding. For the design of the floor slab with a design value of the bearing pressure of 140 kN/m², a bedding modulus of 9.5 MN/m³ is to be used."
In my construction contract, the clause states:
"The calculation basis is an allowable bearing pressure of 150 kN/m² and a bedding modulus of 20 MN/m³."
What does this mean for me?
