Plate Load Testing, and the calculation methods involved .... 1

[mehraneng]

Guys Im deperately looking for a paper or a book that has the calculation processes involved for a non-repetative plate load test, and i tracked down a paper called "a method of interpretation for a plate load test" althogh after going through the paper i realised that it is intended for Engineers that already know the calculation process for the plate load test. Can anyone guide me in this matter?
