Loading Sequence of Pile Static Load Test

The document describes the loading sequence and procedures for static load tests on piles of varying sizes (200mm, 250mm, 250mm pile sizes) with working loads of 120 tons, 135 tons, and 180 tons respectively. The load is applied in increments of 25% of the working load up to 1.5-2.0 times the working load or failure over two loading-unloading cycles while monitoring settlement. Dial gauge readings are taken at regular intervals to evaluate settlement rates.

4. LOADING SEQUENCE OF PILE STATIC LOAD TEST


The load shall be applied in increment of 25% of the working load up to 1.54 times working
load or failure. The procedure shall be carried out in two (2) cycles. The load increment and
time interval for holding of load is as follow:

Notes:
i) Dial gauge reading to be taken every 15 minutes interval when maintained for one (1)
hour during loading and unloading. Reading at working load shall be taken at one (1)
hour interval except the reading for the first hour (to be taken every 15 minutes).
ii) Dial gauge reading to be taken 15 minutes interval. Reading at twice the working load
shall be taken at one (1) hour interval except the reading for the first hour (to be taken
every 15 minutes).
iii) If the rate of settlement exceeds 0.20mm/hr, the load shall be maintained for
additional 1 hour.
iv) Reading shall be recorded before and after applying load increment/decrement.
v) The result of the load test shall be recorded in three (3) plotting graph as follow:-
a) Load vs. Time
b) Settlement vs. Time
c) Settlement vs. Load
