Q1. The settlement of prototype in clay soil may be estimated using plate load test data from the following expression :
- (1) S_{\textPrototype} = S_{\textplate} × (B_{\textprototype})/(B_{\textplate}))
- (2) S_{\textPrototype} = S_{\textplate} × (B_{\textplate})/(B_{\textprototype}))
- (3) S_{\textPrototype} = S_{\textplate} × (2 × B_{\textprototype})/(B_{\textprototype} + B_{\textplate}))2
- (4) S_{\textPrototype} = S_{\textplate} × (B_{\textprototype} + B_{\textplate})/(2 × B_{\textprototype}))2
