Analysis of ts Estimated bearing capacity, 150 kNim* was provided by the contractor. A maximum stress of 463 kNim* was applied and the plate settlement of 7.24 mm was recorded. The following equation as deatiled in “FoundationAnalysis and Design 4th Edition by J.E Bowles based on the popular Terzaghi & Peck (1967) is used in the extrapolation of plate bearing test result full size footing, te (oe He: Sete of efi - VHI - Settiement of the Plate 82-Wsbo eaing 81 Diameer the late Seitlement (mm) Diameter of the aa — Footing wiath Seltement @ 180 (N=) (em) (onm) Prato Footing 780 - 3000 210 4a7 ‘The estimated setement of footing atthe required working stress of 150 kNim* can be considered safe atthe tested location end the settlements are within the permissible limits. As the plate used is of 760 mm diameter, the zone of influence under testis only twice the diameter ofthe plate, ie 1.52 m depth. Hence, although the bearing capacity may be considered as -aocurate forthe depth of zone of influence ofthe pat, its an estimate only of the beering capacity of the sol below the depth 5, Remarks : Bearing capaciy provided by contractor
