Charge unitaire qui appliquée au sol, provoque sa rupture. Cette rupture est définie de façon conventionnelle sur un diagramme de chargement, par la charge unitaire à partir de laquelle le tassement devient asymptotique, ou égal au dixième de la largeur de la surface chargée (pieu, plaque ...). Il ne s'agit pas d'une caractéristique intrinsèque du sol : la capacité portante dépend, en effet, de la forme et de la dimension de la surface chargée, du processus de chargement, de son interprétation, etc. 1, record 1, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20portante%20du%20sol
