This document describes the procedure for conducting a plate load test to determine the bearing capacity of soil. Key details include:
- Plate load tests involve gradually applying load increments to a steel plate placed on the ground and measuring settlement over time.
- Tests are used to determine ultimate bearing capacity and modulus of subgrade reaction for foundation design.
- Proper test setup, equipment, load increments, settlement observations and timing are specified.
- Results are interpreted by plotting load-settlement curves to identify yield point or failure for different soil types.
- Calculations are provided to determine ultimate bearing capacity and expected foundation settlement from plate load test data.
- Limitations include only reflecting shallow soil properties and not fully capturing ultimate
A plate load test involves applying incremental loads to a bearing plate placed on the ground surface and measuring the resulting settlements. The test is used to estimate the settlement of a footing under working loads. A seating load is first applied and removed, then higher loads are placed and settlements are recorded until the rate of settlement decreases. Load-settlement curves are plotted from the results. The test gives the immediate settlement but not long-term consolidation settlement, so it is not very useful for predicting behavior in clay soils. The test also may not be representative if the soil is not homogeneous to a depth of 1.5-2 times the prototype footing width.

1) Consolidation is the process where saturated clay soils expel pore water in response to increased loading, causing volume change. 2) During initial loading, pore water pressure increases and the soil skeleton does not feel the load. 3) Over time, pore water pressure dissipates and the load is transferred to the soil skeleton. 4) One-dimensional consolidation testing involves incrementally loading a saturated soil sample and measuring volume change and pore pressure dissipation over time.

This document discusses permeability and seepage in soils. It begins with an overview of permeability, noting that it is a measure of how easily water can flow through soil. Darcy's law is then presented, which relates permeability to flow velocity. Several laboratory tests for measuring permeability are also described, including constant head, falling head, and determination from consolidation or capillary tests. Real-world applications where permeability is important are mentioned, such as seepage through dams or behind retaining walls.
This document discusses consolidation settlement, which occurs when saturated soil is loaded and squeezed, causing water to be expelled over time (years depending on soil permeability) and the soil volume to decrease. As water flows out, the soil settles vertically in direct proportion to the volume decrease. Two methods estimate consolidation settlement: using the coefficient of volume compressibility (mv) or the void ratio-effective stress (e-logσ'v) relationship. Practical applications include using prefabricated vertical drains to accelerate consolidation in clay soils.

This document discusses settlement analysis and different types of settlement. It begins by defining settlement as the vertical downward deformation of soil under a load. There are two main types of settlement based on permanence - permanent and temporary. There are also different types based on mode of occurrence: primary consolidation, secondary consolidation, and immediate settlement. Differential settlement can cause structural damage, while uniform settlement has little consequence. The document outlines methods to estimate settlement, such as consolidation tests, and discusses remedial measures to reduce or accommodate settlement.

The document summarizes the plate load test, which determines the ultimate bearing capacity and settlement of soil under a given load. The test involves setting up a steel plate on the soil surface and applying a total load that is divided by the plate area to determine bearing capacity. Testing can be done via gravity or truss methods. Results are interpreted, but the test only reflects soil characteristics to twice the plate depth and doesn't indicate long-term settlements, particularly for cohesive soils. Values may also be conservative for large foundations in dense sands.
Plate load tests are used to determine the ultimate bearing capacity and settlement of soil. The test involves gradually loading a circular or square test plate placed in an excavated pit using a hydraulic jack. Dial gauges measure the settlement under each load increment. A load-settlement curve is generated, allowing engineers to determine the safe bearing capacity based on shear failure or permissible settlement. Results provide insight into foundation design and behavior for the site.

This document provides information on the standard penetration test (SPT), including the instruments, procedures, corrections, and applications. It describes that the SPT is commonly used to evaluate the in-situ properties of cohesionless soils. The key instruments are a split spoon sampler, drive-weight assembly with a 63.5 kg hammer, and cathead. The procedure involves drilling a borehole, driving the sampler with the hammer, and recording the number of blows to penetrate each 15 cm interval. Corrections are made to account for overburden pressure, dilatancy effects, and hammer energy efficiency. The SPT provides useful correlations to estimate properties like relative density, friction angle, and strength.
The document provides information on sheet pile structures and cantilever sheet pile walls. It discusses the different types of sheet piles that can be used, including timber, concrete, and steel. It then describes cantilever sheet pile walls and how to analyze them in both granular and cohesive soils. The analysis involves determining the depth of embedment, bending moment, and section modulus of the sheet piles. Finally, it briefly mentions that anchored sheet piles are held in place using anchors and are either free-earth support or fixed-earth support systems.
This document summarizes the procedures for conducting a pile load test to determine the load carrying capacity of a pile. The test involves installing a test pile between two anchor piles and applying incremental loads through a hydraulic jack while monitoring settlement. Loads are applied until the pile reaches twice its safe load or a specified settlement. A load-settlement curve is plotted to determine the ultimate load and safe load based on settlement criteria. The test provides values for maximum load, permissible working load, and pile settlement under different loads.

Geophysical methods of soil/Foundation testing Pirpasha Ujede
Geophysical methods such as seismic refraction and resistivity testing provide non-invasive subsurface investigation over large areas more quickly and cheaply than traditional boring and testing. However, geophysical results require interpretation and are less definitive. Both methods are important, with geophysical testing used for initial screening and borings to accurately determine soil properties. Seismic refraction uses shock waves to determine layer velocities and depths, while resistivity measures subsurface resistivity variations related to moisture, compaction, and material to infer stratigraphy.
The standard penetration test (SPT) involves driving a split spoon sampler into the ground using a 140 lb hammer dropped 30 inches. The number of blows required to penetrate each 6 inch interval is recorded, and the penetration resistance value N is the sum of the blows over the second and third intervals. This test is commonly used to obtain bearing capacity and estimate soil properties like density and shear strength. It is performed whenever the soil stratum changes and at intervals of no more than 1.5 meters.
The document discusses soil bearing capacity and methods for determining and improving it. It explains that the ultimate and safe bearing capacities must be determined to ensure the foundation can safely transmit loads to the soil. A common field test is the plate load test, which involves loading a test plate in a pit and measuring settlement. From the load-settlement graph, the ultimate capacity is determined using the maximum load. The safe capacity applies a factor of safety, usually 2-3. Methods to improve bearing capacity include increasing foundation depth, draining water, compacting soil, grouting, confinement, and chemical treatment.

The document discusses the significance and procedure of conducting California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and plate load tests to evaluate the strength of subgrade soils for road construction. The CBR test determines the soil's ability to support loads, while the plate load test is used to determine the modulus of subgrade reaction.

FIELD TEST FOR BEARING CAPACITY-revised for BC.pptxsbarai0802
This document discusses various field tests used to determine bearing capacity of soils, including the standard penetration test (SPT), plate load test, cone penetration test (CPT), and pressure meter test. The SPT involves driving a split spoon sampler into the ground using a hammer and measuring the blow counts, while corrections are applied to the observed value. The plate load test applies incremental loads to a steel plate in a pit until a maximum settlement is reached to determine ultimate bearing capacity. The CPT provides continuous measurements of cone resistance with depth to assess soil properties. The pressure meter test measures volume changes in a probe under increasing gas pressure to identify elastic and plastic soil behavior.
1. Soil investigations are conducted to obtain information useful for planning, designing and executing construction projects. This includes determining soil properties, groundwater levels, suitable foundation types and depths, bearing capacity, settlements, and lateral earth pressures.
2. Standard penetration tests are used to determine soil properties like relative density and strength. The test involves driving a split spoon sampler into the soil using a hammer and measuring the blow counts. Corrections are made for dilatancy and overburden pressure.
3. Piles can be classified based on material, load transfer method, construction method, use, and soil displacement. Components of a well foundation include the cutting edge, well curb, stining, bottom plug, sand fill
1. The document discusses how the location of the water table affects the bearing capacity of soils. It provides equations to calculate reductions in bearing capacity terms due to the water table level.
2. Plate load tests are described as a method to determine the bearing capacity of soils by measuring the settlement of loaded test plates. Load-settlement curves are analyzed to find the ultimate bearing capacity.
3. Charts and equations are presented to estimate the allowable bearing capacity of soils from standard penetration test N-values, taking into account water table level, footing width and depth.
This document outlines the procedure for determining the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of soils in a laboratory. The CBR is a measure of how much load a soil can support before failing. The procedure involves compacting soil specimens using static or dynamic methods, soaking them for 96 hours, and then penetrating the specimens with a piston at a rate of 1.25mm/min while measuring the load. The CBR is calculated based on the load-penetration curve and indicates the soil's strength and ability to support pavement structures.

Saqib Imran provides notes on civil engineering lab tests, including procedures for performing a California Bearing Ratio test and an Unconfined Compression test. The document outlines the apparatus, test procedures, observations, calculations, and significance of the CBR test. It also summarizes the purpose, standard reference, equipment, test procedure, and analysis for the Unconfined Compression test. Finally, it provides the procedure to determine the shrinkage limit of a soil sample.
This experiment aims to determine the undrained shear strength of remolded cohesive soil using a vane shear test. The vane shear test involves pushing a four-bladed vane into a soil sample and rotating it until shear failure occurs along a cylindrical surface. The torque required to cause failure is measured and converted to a unit shear resistance. This test is suitable for soft soils where other shear tests may not work accurately, and it can be used to find both the undisturbed and remolded shear strengths to estimate soil sensitivity. The procedure involves filling a container with soil at a set density and water content, inserting the vane, and rotating it until failure while recording the applied torque and calculated shear strength.
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) involves driving a thick-walled sampler into the ground using blows from a hammer. The number of blows required for each 150mm of penetration is recorded. Higher blow counts indicate denser soil. SPT results provide an indication of soil strength properties and relative density, especially in granular soils where undisturbed samples are difficult to obtain. However, SPT results have limitations as the test can disturb soils and the blow count data has low resolution. Correlations are used to interpret SPT results but depend on soil type.

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual

Rail transport is one of the important modes of transport in India. Now a days we
see that there are railways that are present for the long as well as short distance
travelling which makes the life of the people easier. When compared to other
means of transport, a railway is the cheapest means of transport. The maintenance
of the railway database also plays a major role in the smooth running of this
system. The Online Train Ticket Management System will help in reserving the
tickets of the railways to travel from a particular source to the destination.

2. IS : 1888-1982
Method of Load Test on Soils ( 2nd
Revision)
This Indian Standard (Second Revision ) was adopted
by the Indian Standards Institution on 30 November
1982, after the draft finalized by the Soil Engineering
and Rock Mechanics Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
3. Scope
In the case of unusual soil types and for all heavy and
important structures, relevant laboratory tests or
field tests are essential. This standard covers plate
load test method
• for determination of ultimate bearing capacity of
soil in place which assumes that soil strata is
reasonably uniform.
• The load test included in the standard is also used
to find modulus subgrade reaction useful in the
design of raft foundation and in the design of
pavements.
5. Apparatus
1. Loading platform truss of sufficient size and properly
designed members so as to estimate load reaction for
conducting the test shall be used. The typical set up used
for gravity loading is given in Fig. 1, for reaction loading in
Fig. 2 and for loading truss in Fig. 3.
2. Hydraulic jack of required capacity with properly calibrated
load measuring device, such as pressure gauge, electronic
load cell, or proving ring shall be used.
3. Bearing Plates - Circular or square bearing plates of mild
steel, not less than 25 mm in thickness and varying in size
from 300 to 750 mm with chequered or grooved bottom (
see Fig. 4 ), provided with handles for convenient setting
and centre marked. As an alternative, cast in-situ or
precast concrete blocks may be used with depths not less
than two third the width
6.
7.
8. Apparatus
4. Settlement Recording Device - Dial gauges with 25
mm travel, capable of measuring settlement to an
accuracy of 0.01 mm.
5. Datum Beam or Rod - Beam or rod of sufficient
strength capable of maintaining straightness when
fitted on two independent supports fitted with arms
or magnetic bases for holding dial gauges.
6. Miscellaneous Apparatus - A ball and socket
arrangement, loading columns, steel shims, wooden
blocks, collar, reaction girder with cradles for
independent fitting to the reaction platform as
necessary to the particular set up.
10. Procedure
1. Selection of Location - The locations for load test shall be
based on exploratory borings, and unless otherwise
desired, shall be conducted at an elevation of the
proposed foundation level under the worst estimated
conditions.
• In case the water table is within the depth equal to the
width of the test plate, the test shall be conducted at water
table level.
• In case water table is higher than the test level, it shall be
lowered to the test level and maintained by pumping
through a sump, away from the test plate.
• However, for the soils like cohesionless silt and fine sand
which cannot be drained by pumping from the sump, the
test level shall also be water table level.
11. Procedure
2. Test Pit - The pits, usually at the foundation level,
having in general normally of width equal to five
times the test plate or block, shall have a
carefully levelled and cleaned bottom at the
foundation level; protected against disturbance
or changes in natural formation.
3. Dead Load - The dead load of all equipment
used, such as ball and socket, steel plate, loading
column, jack, etc, shall be recorded prior to
application of load increment.
12. 4. Size and Shape of Plate - Except in case of road
problems and circular footing;, square plates may be
adopted. For clayey and silty soils and for loose to
medium dense sandy soils with N < 15, a 450 mm
square plate or concrete blocks shall be used. In the
case of dense sandy or gravelly soils ( 15 < N < 30 )
three plates of sizes 300 mm to 750 mm shall be used
depending upon practical considerations of reaction
loading and maximum grain size. The side of the plate
shall be at least four times the maximum size of the
soil particles present at the test location.
NOTE - N is the standard penetration resistance value
determined in accordance with IS : 2131-l%l*.
13. Test Arrangement
• The loading platform shall be supported by suitable means at least 2.5 m from
the test area with a height of 1 m or more above the bottom of the pit to
provide sufficient working space. No support of loading platform should be
located within a distance of 3.5 times size of test plate from its centre.
• The test plate shall be placed over a fine sand layer of maximum thickness 5
mm, so that the centre of plate coincides with the centre of reaction
girder/beam, with the help of a plumb and bob and horizontally levelled by a
spirit level to avoid eccentric loading. The hydraulic jack should be centrally
placed over the plate with the loading column in between the jack and reaction
beam so as to transfer load to the plate. A ball and socket arrangement shall be
inserted to keep the direction of the load vertical throughout the test. A
minimum seating pressure of70 g/cm2 shall be applied and removed before
starting the load test.
• The two supports of the reference beam or datum rod shall be placed over firm
ground, fixed with minimum two dial gauges resting at diametrically opposite
ends of the plates. The dial gauges shall be so arranged that settlement is
measured continuously without any resettingin between.
14. 6. Load Increments - Apply the load to soil in
cumulative equal increments up to 1 kg/cm2 or
one-fifth of the estimated ultimate bearing
capacity, whichever is less. The load is applied
without impact , fluctuation or eccentricity and in
case of hydraulic jack load is measured over the
pressure gauge, attached to the pumping unit
kept over the pit, away from the testing plate
through extending pressure pipes
15. Settlement and observations
Settlements should be observed for each increment of load after an
interval of 1, 2.25, 4, 6.25, 9, 16 and 25 min and thereafter at hourly
intervals to the nearest 0.02 mm. In case of clayey soils the ‘time
settlement’ curve shall be plotted at each load stage and load shall
be increased to the next stage either when the curve indicates that
the settlement has exceeded 70 to 80 percent of the probable
ultimate settlement at that stage or at the end of 24 hour period.
For soils other than clayey soils each load increment shall be kept
for not less than one hour or up to a time when the rate of
settlement gets appreciably reduced to a value of 0.02 mm/min.
The next increment of load shall then be applied and the
observations repeated. The test shall be continued till, a settlement
of 25 mm under normal circumstances or 50 mm in special cases
such as dense gravel, gravel and sand mixture, is obtained or till
failure occurs, whichever is earlier. Alternatively where settlement
does not reach 25 mm, the test should be continued to at least two
times the estimated design pressure. If needed, rebound
observations may be taken while releasing the load.
17. Interpretations of results
• From the results obtained in plate load test, a
logarithmic graph is drawn between loads applied
to the corresponding settlement. Load is taken on
x-axis and settlement is on y-axis.
• Four typical curves are shown in Fig. 5.
18.
19. • Curve A is typical for loose to medium non cohesive soils, it can
be seen that initially this curve is a straight line, but as load
increases it flattens out. There is no clear point of shear failure.
• Curve B is typical for
cohesive soils. This may
not be quite straight in
the initial stages and leans
towards settlement axis as
the settlement increases.
• Curve C is typical for partially cohesive soils possessing the
characteristics of both A and B.
• Curve D is typical for purely dense cohesion-less soil.
20. • No difficulty should be experienced in arriving at
the ultimate bearing capacity in case of dense
cohesion-less soils or cohesive soils ( see Fig. 5,
curves D and B ) as the failure is well defined.
• But in the case of Curves A and C where yield point
is not well defined settlements shall be plotted as
abscissa against corresponding load intensities as
ordinate, both to logarithmic scales ( see Fig. 6 ),
which give two straight lines, the inter-section of
which shall be considered as yield value of soil.
21.
22. Calculations bearing capacity
• Bearing Capacity Calculation for Clayey Soils
Ultimate bearing capacity = ultimate load for plate
i.e. qu(f) = qu(p)
• Bearing Capacity Calculation for Sandy Soils
Ultimate bearing capacity = ultimate load for plate x
{Width of pit (Bf) / Size of Plate (Bp)}
qu(f) = qu(p) x Bf / Bp
• Finally, safe bearing capacity =
ultimate bearing capacity / factor of safety
The factor of safety ranges from 2 to 3.
23. Settlement
We can also calculate settlement for given load from plate load
test as follows
• Foundation Settlement Calculation on Clayey Soils
Settlement of foundation (sf) = sp x Bf/Bp
• Foundation Settlement Calculation on Sandy Soils
Settlement of foundation
St = Sp [{B(Bv + 0.3)}/{Bp(B+ 0.3)}]2
• Where
B = the size of footing in m,
Bv = size of test plate in m,
Sp = settlement of test plate in m
St = settlement of footing in m
24. Limitations
1) The test results reflect only the character of the soil located
within a depth of less than twice the width of the bearing plate. Since the
foundations are generally larger than the test plates, the settlement and
shear resistance will depend on the properties of a much thicker stratum.
2) Moreover this method does not give the ultimate settlements particularly
in case of cohesive soils. Thus the results of the test are likely to be
misleading, if the character of the soil changes at shallow depths, which
is not uncommon. A satisfactory load test should, therefore, include
adequate soil exploration ( see IS : 1892-1979* ) with ~due attention being
paid to any weaker stratum below the level of the footing.
25. Limitations
3) Another limitation is concerning the effect of size of
foundation. For clayey soils the bearing capacity ( from
shear consideration ) for a larger foundation is almost
the same as that for the smaller test plate. But in dense
sandy soils the bearing capacity increases with the size
of the foundation. Thus tests with smaller size plate
tend to give conservative values in dense sandy soils.
It may, therefore, be necessary to test with plates of at
least three sizes and the bearing capacity results
extrapolated for the size of the actual foundation
(minimum dimensions in the case of rectangular
footings ).
Editor's Notes
Plate load test, though useful in obtaining the necessary information about the soil with particular reference to design of foundation has some limitations :
