Test conducted By: Swastik Construction 11, Jagannath bari Road. Agartala.
Introduction
Plate load test has been carried out on Sand filled Soil at the proposed construction site of Auditorium at old music college site at Agartala on 25.08.2011. The Plate Load Test was aimed to observe the safe bearing capacity of compacted sand filled Soil including its settlement with respect to the Ultimate Load. Here the test was conducted to ascertain the Safe Load Bearing capacity of soil for permissible settlement.
Test Equipments a) b) Hydraulic Jack Pressure Gauge i) ii) Capacity Ram dia = 50 MT. = 95 mm. = Orient = 0 100 kg /cm = 2.5 kg /cm (For 1st four = 2 kg /cm (For Next all divisions) Calibration Certificate No = SIW/2192/M-09/10-11 c) Dial Gauge- 2Nos i) Make ii) Range iii) Least Count = Baker = 0-25 mm = 0.01 mm
division)
Calibration Certificate No = ETDC (GUW)/CA/ S-094/USA/01-2011/2563 Load Calculation Ram Dia of Jack = 95 mm= 9.5 cm Ram Area of Jack = /4 X d = 3.14/4 X (9.5)= 70.84 cm Now 1 div of pressure gauge exerts pressure on Ram = 2.5 kg/ cm X 70.84 = 177.1 kg = 0.1771 MT ( for 1st four Div) Now 1 div of pressure gauge exerts pressure on Ram = 2.0kg/ cm X 70.84 = 141.68 kg = 0.1417 MT ( for rest all Div) Size of the Test Plate ( 350 mm Dia ) = /4 X d = 3.14/4 X (0.35) = 0.096 m Now 1 div of pressure gauge exerts pressure on Plate = 0.1771 0.096 MT = 1.84 MT ( for 1st four Div) Now 1 div of pressure gauge exerts pressure on Plate = 0.1417 0.096 MT = 1.476 MT ( for rest all Div)
