CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY
Two types of Pile load tests are generally conducted at the site, initial and routine, to
determine load-carrying capacity and get an idea of the suitability of the piling system. The
mode of loading can be vertical, lateral and pullout depending upon the site requirement. With
the help of a routine pile load test, we can check safe load capacity as determined from static
analysis. In the case of the initial pile load test procedure, the applied load reaches 2.5 times
the safe estimated load, and the routine pile load test, the applied load, reaches 1.5 times the
safe estimated load.
In accordance with the relevant provision of the Indian Standard lS: 2911 (Part 4) I985,
the safe load on a single working pile in the load test shall be least of Two- thirds of the ﬁnal
load at which the total displacement attains a value of 12 mm unless until required in a given
case on the basis of nature and type of structure in which case, the safe load should be
corresponding to the stated total displacement permissible.
It is proposed to conduct the load test on the test pile by the application of vertical
compression loads on the pile top by means of a hydraulic jack reacting against a platform
supporting the kentledge and the settlements will be recorded by suitable positioned dial
gauges. Maintained load method as detailed in the Indian Standard will be followed. The load
test will be carried for a maximum load at 1.5 times the design load.
Preparation for initial Pile Load Test:
 Concrete cubes were taken during the test pile’s concreting to be tested for seven days
and 28 days.
 Compile concrete cube test results and ensure that concrete has gained the desired
strength.
 Excavate around the test pile up to the bottom of the pile head to be built.
 The concrete above the pile head bottom level shall be dismantled, and the pile head
will be constructed as per GFC/approve drawing.
 After the pile head built up, Place 2 Nos of 32 mm or higher thick MS plates on top of
the surface of the pile head in a neat horizontal manner.
 The horizontal alignment of this plate shall be checked with the help of the spirit level.
 The arrangement will be made to support the main girders on either side of the test
pile.
 The arrangement will be made to support secondary girders on either side of the pile to
be tested.
 Place the required number of suitable capacity hydraulic jacks in position.
 Place a standard MS stool on jacks.
 Place main girders on MS stool with its Centre concentric with the pile to be tested.
 Place secondary girders on the main girder, the group Centre concentric with the main
girders and pile.
 Place thick wooden planks spanning across secondary girders as the platform.
 Spread empty cement bags/thick polythene sheet in two layers on the wooden platform.
 Place empty cement jumbo bags filled with local earth/sand as the case may be.
 The actual number of bags and the kentledge platform weight should be equivalent to
the required kentledge load.
 Kentledge arrangement load shall be 25% higher than the test load.
 Place the two supports of datum bars (reference beam) firmly in the ground and make
suitable arrangements like brick pillars around these supports so that ends of datum
bars do not get disturbed.
 Fix angles at suitable places to these reference beams/datum bars to fix strain/dial
gauges shall be arranged. Therefore, settlement can be measured easily and as far as
possible without any resetting of dial gauges.
 Connect all hydraulic jacks with suitable manifolds to a standard hydraulic pump or
power pack. A properly calibrated pump or power pack, a pressure gauge to be
connected to the hydraulic system.
 Pile load test is commenced when it is confirmed that pile head concrete has achieved
stipulated strength.
PILE HEAD PREPARATION
The pile head will be chipped off carefully until sound concrete is met with. The
projecting reinforcement bars will be cut off and the top finished smooth and level with plaster
of Paris to obtain a horizontal surface. On this prepared pile head, a bearing plate will be
placed to receive the jack base.
KENTLEDGE
The kentledge will consist of Concrete blocks stacked over a platform built up of rolled
steel beams and plates resting over them. The platform will rest over steel crib / sleeper cribs
/ sand bag supports clear of the test pile. The kentledge Weight will be about 1.10 times more
than the load test, providing a margin over the maximum test load. Care will be taken in the
placement of the kentledge on the platform in order to ensure that the center of gravity line
of the total load mass is as far practicable, coaxial with the axis of the pile. The platform will
be of suitable size to accommodate the kentledge.
Pile Load Test Procedure:
 Apply a minimum seating load and release it before starting the actual load test. The
above will ensure the proper functioning of hydraulic jacks and load test
kentledge/girder arrangement.
 Fix a required number of dial/strain gauges as proposed in the positions (at least two).
 Apply the load to pile at an equal increment of 20% of the design load.
 The load increment shall be adjusted to the nearest least count of the hydraulic jacks’
pressure gauge and ram area.
 Record the settlement after each increment of test load with an interval of 5 minutes,
15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60minutes, 120 minutes from the time of application of load.
 In this pile load test method, each stage of loading shall be maintained until the pile
top’s rate of movement is not more than 0.2 mm/h or until two hours have elapsed,
whichever is earlier subject to a minimum of one hour.
 Settlement observations in mm from the time of application of load shall be recorded
in a tabular Performa as per the standard quality procedure. In this manner, settlement
to be recorded for every individual load increment.
 After application of the total test load, it will be held constant for 24 hours. Total pile
settlement at the end of the test load application shall be recorded, and the load test
results will be analyzed.
 After completing the pile load test, remove the strain/dial gauges, hydraulic jacks with
the power pack, and connections to datum bars etc., from the top of the test pile.
Remove the load test arrangements like kentledge load MS girders; datum bars pillars
etc., in a Symmetry.
SETLEMENT OBSERVATIONS
The load application and settlement observations will be made at the pile top.
Settlement will be recorded using four dial gauges with a least count of 0.01 mm and travel of
25 mm. The gauges will be positioned at an equal distance around the piles and will be held by
datum bars resting on immovable supports at a minimum distance of 1.50 m from the peripheral
edge of the pile. Typical load test set up is given
LOAD APPLICATION
The test load will be applied by means of a hydraulic jack of suitable capacity. The jacks
will butt against the jacking girder assembly bearing against the loaded platform. The jacking
girder assembly will consist of rolled steel beams/plated beams, with the bottom flanges well
braced.
The test will be carried out by applying a series of vertical downward incremental loads,
each increment being about 20% of the safe load on the pile. The pressure will be read from
the pressure gauge attached to the hydraulic pump. At each stage of loading the actual gauge,
pressure multiplied by the total ram area of jack will be the applied load.
At each stage, the loading will be maintained until such time the rate of movement of
pile head is not more than 0.1 mm in the first 30 minutes or 0.2 mm in the first one hour, or
for maximum of 2 hours, if either of the earlier of the two earlier conditions is not fulfilled.
Time and settlement observations will be made at the commencement and completion
of each stage of incremental loading. The settlement observations will also be continued at
about 15 minute intervals during the period when the applied load is constant.
When the loading has reached the test load level, it will be maintained for a period of 24
hours. The loading will then be brought to zero gradually in stages by releasing the jacking
pressure progressively.
RECORDS
The load displacement and time will be recorded sequentially in a tabular form along
with information about the test pile. A report will be prepared on the test analyzing the test
results and bringing out the conclusion. A load displacement curve will form an essential part
of the presentation.
The safe load on the single pile for the pile load test shall be evaluated based on the
following two criteria, clause 7.1.5 of IS 2911 (Part 4): 2013
For piles more than 600mm diameter:
 2/3 of the final load at which the total displacement attains a value of 18 mm or a
maximum of 2% of pile diameter, whichever is less unless otherwise specified.
 50% of the final load at which the total displacement equals 10% of the pile diameter in
uniform diameter piles and 7.5% of bulb diameter in case of under-reamed piles.
