Hello,
In practice, is there so much difference budgeting/quoting to build a platform to withstand 10t/m2, or 100t/m2. I'm asking this since we awarded a subcontractor building a platform to withstand 20t/m2, and when the steel plate test was performed, in quite several points the results pointed out soil was able to withstand 100t/m2.
Another question will be: are those steel plate test ok? What's the reason we obtaining 100t/m2, since we only ask for 20t/m2? Is this a matter of the test, the design, or that subcontractor just provided more?
I'm not a Civil Engineer.
Have a nice week ahead
