Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of a plate load test?
  • Step 1: Understand that a plate load test is a method used to evaluate how much weight the ground can support.
  • Step 2: Prepare a flat plate that will be placed on the ground.
  • Step 3: Gradually apply a load (weight) on the plate.
  • Step 4: Measure how much the ground settles or sinks under the weight.
  • Step 5: Analyze the measurements to determine the soil's bearing capacity, which tells us how much weight the soil can safely hold.
