Use Housel method to determine the size of square footing required to carry a column load P = 55 tons if the two plate loading tests results are as given below:- Plate size (1) = 30x30 cm, corresponding load= 6.2 tons; relative to 1.0 cm settlement. Plate size (2)=45x45 cm, corresponding load -12 tons; relative to 1.0 cm settlement.

Question 8(a)
A 10 foot square footing is to be constructed and will have a net bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. Calculate the average vertical stress increase using the 2:1 method.
Pls give me correct solution- In a plate load test on a soil, at a particular magnitude of the settlement, it was observed that the bearing pressure beneath the footing is 100 kN/m². The perimeter shear is 25 kN/m². Find the load capacity of a 2 m square footing at the same settlement.
Assignment . Estimate the settlement of the raft (or mat) foundation for the "Savings Bank Build- ing" given by Kay and Cavagnaro (1983) using the author's procedure. Given data are as follows: = 150 kPa B XL = 15 X 30 m Soil is layered clays with one sand seam from ground surface to sandstone bedrock at 18 m; mat at - 2 m. E, from 2 to 8 m 42.5 MPa E, from 8 to 14 m 60 MPa E, for sandstone 2 500 MPa S.
The following results were obtained from CU tests on a clay soil that is the foundation material for an embankment. 03 (kPa) 300 400 600 0₁-03 (kPa) 331 420 487 Au (kPa) 111 160 322 (a) Determine the total and effective principal stresses for all three tests (You may summarize them in a table). (b) Recommend the shear strength parameters to be used for short-term and long-term analyses. The maximum confining pressure (cell pressure) at the depth of interest is 300 kPa. (Note: the clay is a normally consolidated one).
Hello and hope your help with foundation CEE 430 thanks
Please round to the nearest One (i.e., 1). No Comma! The results of a plate-load test in a clay soil are shown below. The size of the plate is 0.58m x 0.58m.
