Estimation of Some Mechanical Soil Properties from Static and Dynamic Plate Load Tests

When the depth of stressed soil is rather small, Plate Load Test (PLT) becomes most efficient test to estimate properties for design purposes. Among these properties, modulus subgrade reaction important one that usually employed in roads and concrete pavement design. Two methods are available perform PLT: static dynamic methods. Static PLT adopted due its simplicity time saving be performs comparison with cyclic (dynamic) method. The two described ASTM standard.
