This is because the test results are more accurate when the plate size is comparable to the size of the foundation that will be built on the soil. If the plate size is too small, the test results will not be representative of the bearing capacity of the soil under the foundation. If the plate size is too large, the test results will be affected by the weight of the plate itself.<\/p>\n<p>The plate loading test is a method of determining the bearing capacity of soil.
