Settlement of Plate in Load Bearing Test Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settlement of Plate = Settlement Foundation*((1+Width of Full Size Bearing Plate)/(2*Width of Full Size Bearing Plate))^2
ρ¹ = Δ*((1+B)/(2*B))^2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Settlement of Plate - (Measured in Meter) - Settlement of plate is the vertical displacement of the plate.
Settlement Foundation - (Measured in Meter) - Settlement Foundation is the process and principles involved in ensuring the stable and predictable settlement of structures built on soil or other earth materials.
Width of Full Size Bearing Plate - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Full Size Bearing Plate is the diameter or width of a large, rigid plate that is placed on the surface of the ground or at a specified depth below the ground surface.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Settlement Foundation: 4.8 Millimeter --> 0.0048 Meter (Check conversion here)
Width of Full Size Bearing Plate: 2000 Millimeter --> 2 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ρ¹ = Δ*((1+B)/(2*B))^2 --> 0.0048*((1+2)/(2*2))^2

Evaluating ... ...

ρ¹ = 0.0027

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0027 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0027 Meter <-- Settlement of Plate

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Settlement in Foundation?

Inevitably, soils deform under the load of foundation structures. The total vertical displacement that occur at foundation level is termed as settlement. The cause of foundation settlement is the reduction of volume air void ratio in the soil.

How to Calculate Settlement of Plate in Load Bearing Test?

Settlement of Plate in Load Bearing Test calculator uses Settlement of Plate = Settlement Foundation*((1+Width of Full Size Bearing Plate)/(2*Width of Full Size Bearing Plate))^2 to calculate the Settlement of Plate, The Settlement of Plate in Load Bearing Test formula is defined as the vertical displacement of the plate due to applied load. Settlement of Plate is denoted by ρ¹ symbol.

How to calculate Settlement of Plate in Load Bearing Test using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Settlement of Plate in Load Bearing Test, enter Settlement Foundation (Δ) & Width of Full Size Bearing Plate (B) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Settlement of Plate in Load Bearing Test calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.0027 = 0.0048*((1+2)/(2*2))^2.
