TOPIC 3: DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF SHALLOW FOUNDATION WEEK 12 • PILE LOAD TEST AND ITS ANALYSIS
Learning Outcomes • Students should be able to: • Describe the Static Load Test. (CO3-PO4) • Describe the PDA Test. (CO3-PO4) • Explain how the Design Load is verified with these test. (CO3-PO4)
PILE TESTING Purpose To verify the design of the foundation To check the integrity of the pile Type of Tests Static Load Test PDA Test PIT Test
Static Load Test Twice Working load Preliminary Load Test Working Load Test Settlement criteria Ultimate capacity of pile Testing Setup Instrumentation
Maintained Load Test Constant Rate of penetration Test
PDA Test A cheaper and quicker method than static load test PIT Test Detect honeycomb or pile breakages
