1. A plate load test was conducted at a site to determine the soil's bearing capacity for construction.
2. The test was performed 10.5 meters below ground level in dense gravelly soil. A 0.3x0.3 meter plate was used.
3. The failure load was 10.5 tons, with a corresponding settlement of 3.7 mm. The ultimate bearing capacity was determined to be 116 tons/m2, and the safe bearing capacity assuming a safety factor of 3.0 was 38 tons/m2.

Design of Various Types of Industrial Buildings and Their ComparisonIRJESJOURNAL
ABSTRACT :- In this paper Industrial Steel truss Building of 14m x 31.50m, 20m x 50m, 28m x 70m and bay spacing of 5.25m, 6.25m and 7m respectively having column height of 6m is compared with Pre-engineering Buildings of same dimension. Design is based on IS 800-2007 (LSM) Load considered in modeling are Dead load, Live Load, Wind load along with the combinations as specified in IS. Analysis results are observed for column base as hinge base. Results of Industrial steel truss buildings are compared with the same dimensions of Pre-Engineering Building

SBC of proposed site for construction
*****
Please find herewith the test results of plate load test conducted at the site
The test results are as under:-
1. Depth of pit = 0.5m (10.5m below G. L.
approx.)
2. Size of plate used = 0.30m X 0.30m
3. Type of soil existing at 10.5m depth = dense gravelly soil
The test was conducted as per IS 1888:1982.
Failure load = 10.5 t
Corresponding settlement of plate = 3.7 mm
Ultimate bearing capacity Qu = 116 t/m2
Safe Bearing Capacity of soil = 38 t/m2
(assuming factor of safety = 3.0)
