**35 analyses pinned to published worked examples · 88 checks · 88 PASS / 0 FAIL.**

Each analysis below is traced to a published textbook/standard worked
example: verbatim inputs → published expected value → the number
TerraBrains computes today → measured deviation vs the cited tolerance.
This is the auditable subset; all 137 analyses are additionally covered by
invariant + regression suites. The registry is expanding toward full
worked-example coverage.

## GT-01 · Shallow foundation — bearing capacity (Meyerhof, square on dry sand)

- **Analysis:** `bearing-capacity`
- **Source:** Das (2019) Principles of Foundation Engineering, Ex 3.1, p.158
- **Given:** Square B=L=2.0 m, Df=1.5 m, c=0, φ=32°, γ=16.5 kN/m³ (dry sand); Meyerhof 1963 original

design outputs (qult, Pa, Ka, Ah, η) and looser on derived quantities, each
case carrying the band cited from its source._
