Abstract

In the load testing of a foundation or any other ground structure, the method of defining ultimate failure load depends on many factors which include the design criteria and the soil stress history. Some of the more commonly used methods are noted in this technical note. A graphical method is presented which harmonises three of these methods and thus makes it easier to make comparable safety factors between different loading test results.
