solution given the load = 12500KN column foundation area (A) = 5m x 5m = 25 sq mts the load per unit area = 12500/25 = 500 KN/sq mts so from the given table it is clear the for the load / unit area of 500 KN/m2 the estimated settlement turns out to be 20mm

Question

Please round to the nearest One (i.e., 1). No Comma!

The results of a plate-load test in a sand soil are shown below. The size of the plate is 0.625m x 0.625m. If a square column foundation (5m x 5m) that should carry a load of 12500kN, what is the estimated settlement of the foundation?

**Table:**

| Load/unit area (kN/m²) | Settlement (mm) |
|------------------------|-----------------|
| 200 | 6 |
| 300 | 9 |
| 400 | 13 |
| 500 | 20 |
| 600 | 29 |

**Graph Explanation:**

The graph depicts the relationship between Load/unit area (kN/m²) and Settlement (mm). As the load/unit area increases, the settlement of the foundation also increases. The curve shows a non-linear increase in settlement with increasing load.

To estimate the settlement for the given load, you can interpolate using the existing data points on the graph or table.

**Answer:**

Answer = ______ mm
