A plate load test was conducted using a square plate of 30 cm side, at 2 m depth on loose sand. The plate settled by 8 mm at load intensity of 12 t/m². Determine the settlement of 2 mx 2 m square footing if it has to carry the same load intensity at 2 m depth at this site. Ignore the effect of embedment.
