Question: 4 - . A plate loading test with a square rigid plate in a dimension of 1 m 1 m is run on a uniform

4-. A plate loading test with a square rigid plate in a dimension of 1m1m is run on a uniform soil. The applied load-settlement data are provided here:
\table[[Load (kN),20,40,60,80,100,120,140,160],[Settlement (mm),5,10,18,25,35,47,60,110]]
Plot the applied pressure-settlement curve, determine the ultimate bearing capacity, and calculate the elastic modulus of the soil (assume Poisson's ratio =0.3).
