        abstract = {The precise assessment of soil bearing capacity is critical in the design of stable foundations for road pavement and airfield projects. The plate load test serves as a rapid, straightforward, and cost-effective method for determining soil bearing capacity and unconfined compressive strength. This method effectively addresses design challenges associated with subgrade and subbase layers, particularly in scenarios where high wheel loads are anticipated due to heavy traffic during both the construction phase and the operational lifespan of the pavement. This study aims to investigate, analyses, and discuss the geotechnical behavior of soil layers through the following methods: (a) drilling two boreholes to the required depth to examine site stratigraphy and collect both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples for laboratory testing; (b) conducting laboratory tests on selected soil samples to ascertain relevant index and engineering properties of the strata; and (c) analyzing all field and laboratory data to formulate engineering recommendations. The comparison of bearing capacity values is presented, with a detailed discussion of the soil description included.},
