plate load results to CBR or Ks values
plate load results to CBR or Ks values
(OP)
Dear all
I have a series of plate loads results in the form of graphs with no Ks values or CBR values calculated.
Applied load in (kn/m2)against settlement in mm.
plate is 300mm diameter and 0.071m2 in area.
How do i work out the Ks and CBR values, and then with that information how do i use that to work out the Ultimate bearing capacity of the soil at that point.
Ive been searching for hours cant find info anywhere. Any books or references too would be really helpful.
thanks

Once you determine E and/or K, you can correlate to CBR

1. Bowle's 5th Edition of Foundation Analysis and Design or
2. Tomlinson's 7th Edition of Foundation Design and Construction books (the later gives the pluses and minuses of the test)

I looked in tomlinson, and others, no where does it tell you how to convert between the P.L.T to CBR
