the load is NOT (10500) please be aware of that, I have got the wrong answer 4 times, the load is different the load is 12,200

the load is 12,200

the load is 12,200

the load is 12,200

the load is 12,200

A plate load test as shown in the following figure using a 12-inch diameter rigid plate is conducted on a subgrade. The total load required to cause settling by 0.2 inches is 12,200 lbs. Assume Poisson's ratio of the subgrade is 0.5. 12,200 lbs. Rigid plate deflects 0.2" 12" rigid plate Subgrade E?? a. Find the Elastic Modulus of the subgrade? B) After 10 inches of gravel is placed on the subgrade, a plate load test is made on the top of the base course as shown in the following figure. The total load required to cause settling of 0.2 inches is 24,600 lbs. Assume Poisson's ratio of the base material is 0.5. Assume a loading configuration of "steer" to represent the rigid plate in WESLEA software. Find the Elastic Modulus of the base layer using WESLEA software. Please include WESLEA output with your answer 24,600 lbs. Rigid plate deflects 0.2" 12" rigid plate- Base, El Subgrade E?
