Clay type, organic content, and soil structure also influence soil water retention. The maximum amount of water that a given soil can retain is called field capacity, whereas a soil so dry that plants cannot liberate the remaining moisture from the soil particles is said to be at wilting point.
What is bearing capacity of Soil? The bearing capacity of soil is defined as the capacity of the soil to bear the loads coming from the foundation. The pressure which the soil can easily withstand against load is called allowable bearing pressure. The gross pressure at the base of the foundation at which soil fails is called ultimate bearing capacity.
