plate loading test carried out on composite foundation composed of two or more vertical reinforcements and foundation soil
2.1.6 loading test on vertical reinforcement
testing for the bearing capacity of vertical reinforcement according to the variation in settlement of reinforcement as a function of load and time which is determined by applying vertical load grade by grade on the top of vertical reinforcement
2.1.7 standard penetration test (SPT)
in-situ test method to pre-drive the penetrometer of standard specification by 15cm from the bottom of self-drilled hole with a 63.5kg penetrated hammer from a free falling height of 76cm, and measure and record the blow count required for driving the penetrometer by another 30cm
2.1.8 dynamic penetration test (DPT)
in-situ test method to judge the soil property according to the blow count required for driving a conical probe of certain specification into soil by a certain depth with a driving hammer of certain weight from a certain free falling height
