Plate compression, also known as plate load testing, is a geotechnical testing method used to determine the bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of soil and rock strata. It is a crucial technique in civil engineering and construction projects, especially for designing foundations and assessing the load-bearing capacity of the ground.
During a plate compression test, a steel plate, usually with a standardized size and shape, is placed on the ground surface. A hydraulic jack or other load application device is then used to apply a gradually increasing load onto the plate. The test measures the settlement or deflection of the plate as the load is applied, allowing engineers to analyze the behavior of the soil or rock under various loads.
The data obtained from plate compression tests is essential in determining the maximum load that a foundation or structure can safely bear without excessive settlement. It helps engineers design foundations that can support the expected loads while minimizing settlement, which is crucial for the stability and safety of buildings, bridges, dams, and other structures.
