Plate Load Test: Sr. No. Dial Gauge D1 Dial Gauge D2 Dial Gauge D3 Dial Gauge D4 Avg Dial Gauge

The document summarizes the results of a plate load test conducted to determine the bearing capacity of soil. It provides details of the test setup including the size of the bearing plate, pressure gauges used, and dial gauges to measure settlement. The test was conducted by applying incremental loads up to 300 kg/cm2 and recording the corresponding pressure readings, settlement values from the dial gauges, and time. Based on the results, the estimated bearing capacity of the soil is 96 T/m2 and permissible settlement is 6 mm.
