Pile Load Test Procedure-3

This 3 sentence summary provides the key details about a pile load test procedure: The document describes the method statement for conducting a pull out test of a pile to determine its safe load capacity. It outlines the testing equipment including hydraulic jacks, pressure gauges, and dial gauges, as well as the testing method of incrementally increasing the load and measuring displacement. The report format for documenting the analysis, observations and results of a pile load test conducted at SP#3 of a project is also presented.

1.1.1 Test Pile


1.1.1.1 The test shall be conducted on separate pile installed specifically for this purpose.
1.1.1.2 The test pile shall be built up to the proper length and the head provided with
suitable arrangements for anchoring the load applying system.
1.1.2 Loading System
1.1.2.1 Load shall be applied using an approved reaction system. Uplift force on the pile
may be applied directly to the test pile or through a level system. The reaction may be
provided by neighbouring piles or blocks may be constructed/ installed for the purpose. A
hydraulic jack shall be used for load application.
1.1.3 Measuring System
1.1.3.1 Load applied by jack shall be measured by a calibrated pressure gauge with a least
count of 1000 kgs.
1.1.3.2 Movement of the pile shall be measured by dial gauges, fixed to datum bar and
having a least count of 0.01 mm. A minimum of two dial gauges, placed diametrically
opposite shall be used. Datum bars shall be provided with rigid supports as the datum bars
shall have rigid supports preferably of concrete pillars or steel sections, embedded well into
the ground. The supports shall be located more than three times the pile diameter, subject
to a minimum of 1.5 m, clear away from the pile face and also sufficiently away from the
supports of the loaded platform to avoid any disturbance on these accounts. Movements
near the supports of the datum bar shall be avoided while the test is in progress.
1.2 Method of Conducting Test
The test shall be conducted as outlined below:
1.2.1 Loading shall be applied to the pile top in increments of one fifth the rated capacity of
pile.
1.2.2 Each stage shall be maintained for a period till the rate of movement of the pile head
is not more than 0.2 mm/hr or one hour, whichever is greater.
1.2.3 Loading shall be continued till one of the following occurs:
a) Yield of soil pile system occurs causing progressive movement of the pile exceeding1mm.
b) The loading on the pile top equals twice the estimated safe load or as specified.
1.3 Assessment of Safe Load
The safe capacity of the pile shall be the least of the following:

NOTE - One of the methods for pull out tests that may be used is where hydraulic jack is
made to rest on rolled steel joist(s) resting on two supports on the ground. The jack reacts
against a frame attached to the top of the test pile such that when the jack is operated, the
pile gets pulled up and the reaction is transferred to the ground through the supports which
are at least 2.5 D away from the test pile periphery (where D is pile stem diameter of
circular piles or diameter of the circumscribing circle in the case of square piles ). The
framework can be attached to the pile top with the reinforcement bars which may be
threaded or to which threaded bolts may be welded. As an alternative it is sometimes
preferable to use a central rod designed to take pile load and embedded centrally in the pile
to a length equal to the bond length load required. It will have threads at top for fixing it to
the framework. For larger loads the number of rods may have to be-more and depending on
the set-up these may be put in a line or in any other symmetrical pattern. For routine tests,
the framework is normally attached to the reinforcing bars but a central rod may also be
used in case the upper portion of the pile is required to be built up.

Pile Load Test (pull out)-SP#3

QUALITY MANAGEMENT Bhilai Steel Plant-Expansion Project PAGE :

This report covers the analysis, observation & result on pull out load test of pile. This pile load test
was conducted at sp#3.

DATA:

1. Area: sinter cooler / discharge / feed / middle / ss-5.


2. Pile no:
3. Type of pile: Bored cast in- situ.
4. Size of pile: 600 mm dia.
5. Length of pile:
6. Design load: 34MT.
7. Testing load: 68 MT.
8. Jack capacity: 500T.
9. Ram diameter: 300mm.
10. Type of test: pull out test.

ANALYSIS:

Pressure gauge reading (kg/ Load intensity on pile (ton) Avg. Total displacement (mm)

OBSERVATION:

The max displacement is ----------- mm corresponding to load ------------------- MT.

RESULT:

Based on test result, it is observed that for a load of 68 MT (2 times of designed test load), the
displacement is observed ------------mm. which is less than the permissible limit of 12 mm (as per IS
2911 part-IV cl: 6.1.5.1).
