The Coimbatore region has been shifted to Zone III as per IS 1893-2016(Part 1) due to its Expansive soil conditions, therefore chances for an earthquake are high in these regions. The impact of the earthquake can be reduced and mitigated by designing suitable foundation types. The design and choice of foundations are generally based on settlement and SBC of soils. In this study, soil samples have been collected from 20 different sites in Coimbatore to determine the safe bearing capacity and settlement of the soil samples. The data so obtained were used to create the digital SBC and Settlement prediction maps using the software GIS. These maps are then used to identify the settlement and safe bearing capacity of soils in various places. With the help of the settlement values obtained, a suitable type of footing can be suggested.
