(b) A field permeability test consists of pumping out water from a main well and observing the resulting drawdown surface of the original horizontal water table from at least two observation wells. When a steady state of flow is reached, the flow quantity and the levels in the observation wells are noted.
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.
