Auger boring and rock reamers are used to test piles by incrementally increasing the load on a test pile using a hydraulic jack within a reaction frame anchored to reaction piles. Load and deformation measurements are taken after each load increment up to 200% of the design load to generate a load-settlement curve and determine the failure load.
This document summarizes the procedures for conducting a pile load test to determine the load carrying capacity of a pile. The test involves installing a test pile between two anchor piles and applying incremental loads through a hydraulic jack while monitoring settlement. Loads are applied until the pile reaches twice its safe load or a specified settlement. A load-settlement curve is plotted to determine the ultimate load and safe load based on settlement criteria. The test provides values for maximum load, permissible working load, and pile settlement under different loads.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This certificate certifies that Surendra Jagtap, the Deputy Head of Health, Safety and Environment, and Robin Scowcroft, the Head of Services, successfully completed an online Health, Safety and Environment Competency Assessment for Project Business Group on August 5, 2011. The certificate is signed by Alwyn Bowden, the President and CEO, and Mohan Yadlapalli.
This document provides guidance on pile load testing strategies, with the objectives of:
1) Minimizing risks through investigating uncertainties in ground conditions, contractor experience, or new piling techniques.
2) Optimizing pile design in terms of size, length, and safety factor.
3) Confirming pile installation criteria and assessing performance meets requirements.
It recommends strategies based on risk levels from characteristics like ground conditions, experience, and techniques. Higher risk requires preliminary and working pile tests. Lower risk may require only preliminary or working tests. The number of tests varies from 1 test per 250 piles for high risk to 1 per 500 piles for low risk. Location and timing of tests is also addressed.
Essar Steel is establishing a steel pellet plant in Paradeep, Orissa requiring pile foundations. The project involves constructing 539 piles of various diameters using the bored cast in situ method with direct mud circulation. Pile tests, including load tests and integrity tests, were conducted. A rate analysis was performed for a sample 500mm diameter pile considering costs of boring, reinforcement, concrete, testing, and contractor overhead and profit to determine the total cost per pile was approximately 78,000 Indian rupees. The status of pile construction was tracked monthly, with over 80% of the piles completed after 4 months.

Foundations transfer structural loads to the ground and include shallow foundations, such as spread footings, and deep foundations, such as piles. Piles are driven or drilled deep into the ground to gain bearing capacity from end-bearing or skin friction along their length. Pile driving involves using equipment like hammers, leads, and compressors to install piles, and dynamic testing helps evaluate pile capacity and optimize the driving system. Pile load tests provide a direct measurement of a pile's axial capacity. Proper installation and inspection techniques help ensure foundations perform as designed.
This document outlines a study on determining pile load capacity using static and dynamic load tests. It includes an introduction, methodology, literature review, field investigation, and conclusions. The objective is to determine ultimate pile load capacity using dynamic pile analysis, driving records, SPT values, and static load testing. Different estimation methods will be compared, including codes like BNBC-2015. Field testing involved soil investigation, dynamic testing on two test piles using a pile driving analyzer, and a static load test up to a target load of 40 tons.
