FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT
FOR
PLATE LOAD TEST CONDUCTED AT A VACANT LOT AT PROGRESS HOMES SUBD
BRGY.DEL ROSARIO CANAMAN CAMARINES SUR
PURPOSE:
The Purposed of the Plate load Test is:
1. To Undertake load tests at footing elevation
2. To Gather surface soil samples
3. To conduct tests of soil samples for classification
4. To evaluate and analyze results
5. To prepare a complete report including recommendations for soil bearing capacity and
the appropriate soil foundation
All test pits are within the indicated property located at Progress Homes Subd. Brgy.
Del Rosario, Canaman Camarines Sur.
II. MOBILIZATION
Mobilization was Started on 17th day of August 2019 with the excavation of two (2)
pits measuring 1.5 m by 1.5 m about 1.5 m and 1.5 meter deep. A 1.5 m square by 3
meters high wooden flat form was built with a 250mm x 250mm wooden plate
attached at the bottom end. About 16 cement bags of excavated soil weighting 50kg
each.
Actual operation was started on the 17th of August and finish and completed on
the 18th day.
For Test pit No.1, an initial load equivalent to about 800 kgs, was imposed and the
platform could settle freely for about 45 mins.
After the settlement reading another 800kgs. Load was added and subsequent
settlement reading was again 45 mins. This is followed by other 800 kgs, load and
settlement readings after elapsed time of 45 mins.
For Test pit No.2, an initial load equivalent to about 800 kgs, was imposed the
platform could settle freely for about 15 mins.
After the settlement reading another 800kgs. Load was added and subsequent settlement reading
was again 45 mins. This is followed by other 800 kgs, load and settlement readings after elapsed
time of 15 mins. The settlement is .8 meter form 1 meter below the ground surface. The soil in
pit no 2, has many corrosion that lets the wooden post to shrink.
A. Sieve Analysis
A representative material sample is flushed into 200 mesh sieve carefully washed
until all minus 200 mesh material passes through as evidence of the clearness of
the wash water. That fraction retained on the 200 mesh sieve is then dried into the
oven and separated on standard sieve NO. 4.7,8.10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,100,200.
After sieving the material retained on each sieve is weighted. The cumulative
weight of each amount is then determined and recorded in the appropriate form.
B. Liquid limit
C. Plastic Limit
The sample is placed in a suitable container and the weight of the wet
soil and container accurately determined. The sample and container are then
placed in a drying oven at 100 degrees centigrade. The drying period must be
enough to permit the drying of the soil to constant weight. This time varies from a
few hours for clay loam sand. 16 hours is considered minimum time, after being
dried to constant weight the sample is removed from the oven and cooled to room
temperature inside a desicator. After cooling the room temperature, the weight
sample is determined and recorded on appropriate forms.
V. PLATE LOAD TEST REPORT
NOTE.
At pit no 2 we had only 2 loadings conducted, the wooden post shrink and settle
fast we cannot conducted any more load test. Soil at 1m is made of clay loam which
is soft for a plate load test.
