Read the following statements regarding the plate load test and choose the CORRECT option: (i) The plate load test is used to determine the bearing capacity and settlement of soil, and may be carried out using either a gravity loading or truss loading method. (ii) As the width of the bearing plate used in the plate load test is very small compared with the actual foundation, it usually only provides an estimate of the bearing capacity up to a depth of twice the width of the bearing plate.
