Example 13.3 Two plate load tests were conducted at the level of a prototype foundation in cohesionless soil close to each other. The following data are given:

Size of plate 0.3 x 0.3 m 0.6 x 0.6 m

If a footing is to carry a load of 1000 kN, determine the required size of the footing for the same settlement of 25 mm.
