An Analysis of the Quality of Repeated Plate Load Tests Using the Harmony Search Algorithm
We report a characteristic function to determine whether repetitive static plate load test (RSPLT) moduli are within an acceptable quality range, based on a comparison between the initial loading values and reloading moduli. The results of RSPLTs depend on the experience and expertise of the enginee...
