- 1In the case of cohesive soils, this short-duration test does not give the ultimate consolidation settlement.
- 2The test results reflect only the character of the soil located within a shallow depth less than twice the width of the bearing plate.
- 3The bearing capacity of sands and gravels increases with the size of the footing, making scaling up from a small plate difficult.
- 4In this test, a rigid plate is loaded at the foundation level and settlements are determined corresponding to each load increment.✓
Correct answer
In this test, a rigid plate is loaded at the foundation level and settlements are determined corresponding to each load increment.
