Abstract
In the field test of bearing plate on soft soil subjected to vibration caused by heavy truck, a recording of the raise of water pore pressures was carried out by using Casagrande open standpipes. The results proved the high reliability of piezometer devices, and the predictive method was applied for determining the excess values of pore water pressures. This account for the raise of the piezometer head due to dynamic effects.
