Plate Loading test are sometimes performed at locations where shallow foundation will sit to observe actual soil structure interaction; also to observe bearing capacity of proposed location.
Sometimes performed at sub-base of roads pavement; floor slabs;
We performed plate load test utilizing Displacement Sensors, Load Cell and datalogging at 10 second interval. There is no way manual recording can achieve that ! We utilized Campbell Scientific ‘s CR800 DataLogger.
Advantages over traditional dial gauges are that not operator workforce intensive; reducing potential human reading calculations errors and more efficiency.
