Product Group:
Plate Bearing Apparatus, In-situ Testing
Applications include the determination of bearing capacity of the soil in situ, designing for static loads on spread footings, and repetitive and non-repetitive plate loading tests of soils and flexible pavements.
Manufactured from machined steel plate with a finished thickness exceeding 25 mm. The plate has concentric markings on one face. All plates are supplied with two lifting eyes except for the 150 mm dia plate.
Note: to successfully perform the test, a reaction load is required.
Important: The equipment is used in conjunction with a reaction beam. This is not supplied with the equipment.
