Plate-load tests were conducted in-situ for a commercial building project in Rizal, where preliminary investigation indicated the presence of sandy soil. The apparatus had a circular plate with a radius of 0.38m. The results suggests an ultimate bearing pressure of 349 kN/m2. The plate was placed at a depth of 1.90m from the surface, with the soil having a unit weight of 16.87kN/m3. If a circular footing with radius of 1.15m will be used, what must be the maximum net live load (kN) if the net dead load is 349kN? Consider a safety factor of 3.5 and ASD
