How to carry out a plate load test correctly I Geotechnical Engineering I TGC Episode 1

Plate load testing involves the increasing loading of a circular steel plate placed on a ground surface and measuring the settlement induced, to determine bearing capacity. The method is commonly used to test working platforms but it is crucial to carry out the testing correctly, to ensure the safety criteria are met.
