Q1/ The results of a load test carried out on a plate of size 30 cm x 30 cm are given in Table below. The load test was carried out at a depth of 2.5 m, below ground surface. The soil profile is fairly homogeneous sand at the site. From the test results: a. determine the settlement of an actual foundation of size 2.5 m x 2.5 m carrying a total load of 155 ton and located at a depth of 2.5 m below the ground surface. b.
