Settlement of Plate in Load Bearing Test Formula

Settlement of Plate = Settlement Foundation*((1+Width of Full Size Bearing Plate)/(2*Width of Full Size Bearing Plate))^2
ρ¹ = Δ*((1+B)/(2*B))^2

What is Settlement in Foundation?

Inevitably, soils deform under the load of foundation structures. The total vertical displacement that occur at foundation level is termed as settlement. The cause of foundation settlement is the reduction of volume air void ratio in the soil.
