At a development site in Cebu City, a plate-load test was conducted on soil whose properties resemble that of sand. The plate used in this PLT is 52 cm square. The ultimate load per unit area (qu) for the test was found to be 420 kN/m². What should be the maximum allowable load of a 2m square footing? Use a factor of safety of 3. Answer in N Answer is 2,153,846.15 (Complete Solution)
