Abstract
The foundation of a building connects the main body superstructure to the ground. Every form of
foundation and footing have a unique application in a given location for a certain weather condition.
Understanding the foundation work is crucial for carrying out building activities. Due to the variety of structures
they support, foundations are frequently built in different subsoil conditions and are exposed to static loads. The
proper evaluation of soil-bearing capacity is fundamental to the construction of various buildings. One of the
quick, easy, and affordable ways to determine soil carrying capacity is the plate load test.
The effect of subsoil conditions on the test results is assessed and analyzed in thorough parametric
investigations. An overview of axial static and dynamic plate load testing will be given in this study. This article
presents detailed processes and schematics. In an effort to highlight the differences and shared characteristics
of the results, computational test results of the static load plate test and the dynamic load plate test are
contrasted.
A load cell, a steel plate, a hydraulic actuator mounted on a big truck to apply a load, a load cell to measure the
load, and one or more linear variable displacement transformers to measure the vertical displacements make up
the test setup. The maximum thrust load that should be applied to a fixed or stationary actuator when it is not
moving is known as a "static load depending on the actuator's static load capacity, we can determine what a
safe load is. The maximum thrust load that should be applied to the actuator while it is moving is known as a
dynamic load. Dynamic load capacity refers to how much force an actuator can exert when driven and
extending or retracting.
With each method's benefits and drawbacks considered, it can be determined that using them in various
situations and agreeing to the confrontation of these tests for the purpose of comparing results is the best
course of action in order to have a base that satisfies the construction standards
