CELE Geotechnical EngineeringBearing Capacity of SoilsFlash Cards

Flashcards for Bearing Capacity of Soils — the active-recall tool for CELE Geotechnical Engineering aspirants. Each card tests a key concept, formula, or definition from the CELE 2026 syllabus. Use them daily in the final month before exam day.

Exam context

Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) — Board of Civil Engineering runs the Civil Engineer Licensure Examination on May and November 2026. Its Geotechnical Engineering section sits under a "Core" weighting, and Bearing Capacity of Soils is the 9th chapter in the 11-chapter CELE Geotechnical Engineering rotation. The CELE passing mark is 70% weighted average, no sub-test below 50%, and the most recent 2026 paper drew about a meaningful share of questions from Geotechnical Engineering.
