Plate Load Test is a field test for determining the ultimate bearing capacity of soil and the likely settlement under a given load. The Plate Load Test basically consists of loading a steel plate placed at the foundation level and recording the settlements corresponding to each load increment.
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) provides a disturbed sample of soil and a blow count which approximately correlates to density/strength of soil, by driving a hollow split spoon sampler into the ground.
Static Cone Penetration Test - Also known as Dutch Cone for CPT, it gives a continuous record of variation of both cone resistance and friction resistance with depth. CPT however does not yield any sample. It is suitable for soft clay and silts & fine to medium sand deposits.
