“…Therefore, the bending stress, σ, for the lever section was computed from equation (10). According to [22] the allowable bending stress, |𝜎 𝑏 | is given by equation ( 11) Therefore, for a factor of safety 2, the maximum bending stress of 28N/mm 2 is below the permissible value of 110 N/mm 2 the design is safe.…”

“…The existing in-situ field plate load tests will give accurate and reliable results for the design of shallow foundations on sandy and silty soils [8,9]. These accuracies cannot be guaranteed on in-situ saturated clay soils due to lack of sufficient time for the pore water to decipate and may give erroneous bearing capacity results [10].…”

The study is to design field-operated plate load test equipment to overcome the problem of predicting bearing capacity and settlement of clayey soil on site using the conventional/traditional methods of short-duration plate load test where a hydraulic jack is used in conducting the test. Ashby's method of material selection was used for the selection of a suitable material for each of the components. The 12 mm thickness was obtained as the minimum safe thickness for the applied load of 500 kg on the lever arm. The I-section frame that support the entire system has sectional modulus of 19.4 cm3 and 4 mm thickness. The equipment will use a lever arm mechanism to conduct an in-situ test that will take long-duration on clay soil where the dissipation of pore water from the clayey soils takes a longer time to complete as against the current conventional method of plate load test that is in use. The equipment will offer several advantages in terms of cost, reliability, portability, authenticity, and user friendly.

“…From the results of the plate bearing test (Table 1), it shows that the carrying capacity of the soil at all seven points has a value of 40 and is classified as poor based on the classification of bearing capacity (Yavuz and Atilla 2013) [9]. Poor soil carrying capacity is very much the foundation of the dam.…”

At the location of the Pamukkulu dam, it has engineering geological characteristics that are less supportive of the construction above it, especially for the foundation of the dam. By taking data directly in the field and by laboratory testing, information is needed regarding the characterization of mineralogy and the engineering properties of rocks. Mineralogical analysis was performed with petrography and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) while the engineering properties of the rock were performed with Plate Bearing Tests (PBT), Standard Penetration Tests (SPT), and Rock Mass Rating (RMR). Based on mineralogical data, rocks have undergone weathering and converted the chemical-physical properties of minerals into porous, fine-grained minerals, forming mineral oxides as well as clay minerals. The carrying capacity of surface soils in the dam area based on the plate bearing test is relatively poor. As for subsurface rocks, the weight of the rock mass rating belongs to the class (II) Good to (III) Medium. Meanwhile, from the density value of hard soils, there are different depths from a depth of 1 meter to 6 meters. Weathering conditions of rocks affect the engineering value of soils and rocks where due to weathering minerals formed in the form of porous clay minerals, they are not well consolidated.
