Shallow Foundation: Plate Load Test

Download PDF Notes:drive.google.c...
plate load test is useful to estimate bearing capacity of soil on field.
The test procedure is given in IS:
1888-1982 (Revised). The procedure, in brief, is as follows:
(i) After excavating the pit of required size and levelling the base, the test plate is
seated over the ground. A little sand may be spread below the plate for even support. If ground water is encountered, it should be lowered slightly below the base by
means of pumping.
(ii) A seating pressure of 7.0 kN/m2 (70 g/cm2) is applied and released before actual
loading is commenced.
(iii) The first increment of load, say about one-tenth of the anticipated ultimate bearing
capacity, is applied. Settlements are recorded with the aid of the dial gauges after 1
min., 4 min., 10 min., 20 min., 40 min., and 60 min., and later on at hourly intervals
until the rate of settlement is less than 0.02 mm/hour, or at least for 24 hours.
(iv) The test is continued until a load of about 1 1
2 times the anticipated ultimate load is
applied. According to another school of thought, a settlement at which failure occurs
or at least 2.5 cms should be reached.
(v) From the results of the test, a plot should be made between pressure and settlement, which is usually referred to as the ‘‘load-settlement curve’’, rather loosely.
The bearing capacity is determined from this plot, which is dealt with in the next
subsection.

Clear Explanation. Students can easily understand how to conduct plate load test. Shown the test setup clearly and explained about the procedure.

Really nice vedio

[@niveditabarik1356]

sir can you please explain about zero correction in plate load test

[@CuriousCivilEngineer]

Sorry I am not aware of this. By any chance is it related to seating load applied before start of the actual loading ? We apply an initial pressure of 7kN/m2 at the start of loading. After some times this load is removed and then dials are adjusted to zero.

[@vishusingh5129]

Brilliant

Waaaw sir great video. when you explain any topic just add background music

[@kundanpatidar984]

Sir if we apply pressure by hydraulic jack let 30 kg/cm^2 on dial gauge and after some it will reduce or not on settlement of plate please explain

[@CuriousCivilEngineer]

Kundan can you please specify which part of the video you are talking about. I didn't understand the question

[@kundanpatidar984]

@@CuriousCivilEngineer sir it's my query want to ask that if there is settlement in plate there will be any variation in dial gauge used to measure pressure

[@CuriousCivilEngineer]

No. We take care of that during start. Pressure measuring gauge is set up in such a way it does not get disturbed by settlement of plate. If that happens entire test becomes useless
