pile load test

pile load test

A test in which a load (usually 150% or 200% of the design load) is applied on a pile to verify or aid in the selection of a design load.

According to the pile load test data presented in this study, the lateral bearing capacities of these test piles were calculated using the modified and existing m approach, as shown in Figure 9.

Frequently, in geotechnical practice it is not easy to determine the ultimate load considering graph of the pile load test. Consequently, the relative settlement of 10% of pile diameter is widely accepted, as a criterion which helps to determine the ultimate load.

[13] proposed a new empirical formula for the p-y curves of ultralong PHC pipe piles in soft clay based on the analyses of the relationship between ultimate soil resistance and some geotechnical parameters from lateral pile load test.

The aim of this work is to (1) propose an LPDM based on the interpretation of pile load test results for a reference site, (2) describe some case histories located in the reference site and report the most relevant experimental evidence, and (3) apply the proposed LPDM to the selected case histories.
