PROCEDURE FOR ROUTINE VERTICAL PILE LOAD TEST IN
COMPRESSION ON RCC BORED CAST-IN-SITU PILE
1.0 INTRODUCTION:-

1.1 The procedure for conducting Routine Vertical Pile Load Test in compression on
Bored Cast-in-situ Pile.

1.2 The assigned work is to conduct the routine vertical pile Load test in compression, for
Determining and check the safe load carrying capacity on bored RCC Cast-in situ Pile.

1.3 The Piles is having a uniform shaft dia. of 550 mm and 10 m deep (from
C.O.L). Construction of test pile was done as per IS: 2911 (part-1/Sec-2) and pile
load test has to be conducted as per IS: 2911 (part-4), specification and General
Engineering practices.

1.4 The Pile testing work is to be executed by M/s Bharat Infra Constructions, Bareilly.
1.5 The test shall be conducted by the team of skilled personnel under the supervision

of an expert Engineer and whole team shall be coordinated and supervised by


clients/consultants.

2.0 LOCATION:-

The proposed Site is situated at Mathura, Uttar Pradesh.

3.0 SCOPE OF WORK:-

The scope of work is to Conduct the Routine Vertical Pile Load test in compression on
550 dia. pile up to 1.5 times the designed safe load as per IS: 2911 Part-4.

4.0 PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSION TEST BY LOAD


MAINTAINED METHOD:-

( Method is as per IS 2911 Part IV )


4.1 TEST ARRANGEMENT:-

Load shall be provided by a Hydraulic Jack, inserted between test pile and
Kentledge detailed on sketch enclosed.

4.2 LOAD MAINTAINED METHOD:-

4.2.1 Load shall be applied in series of about 20% of assumed safe load with the help
of the calibrated pressure gauge, up to maximum 1.5 times of safe load for
Routine test

4.2.2 Each stage of loading is maintained till rate of displacement of the pile top
is not more than 0.1 mm/30 min or 0.2/hours or untill 2 h have elapsed, whichever
is earlier subject to minimum of 30 min. The test load shall be maintained for
24 h.

4.2.3 Settlement reading shall be taken before and after the application of
each new load increment and at every 30 minut until the
application of next load increment.

4.2.4 Settlement shall be measured by four dial gauges of 0.01mm sensitivity for single
pile fixed on non-movable support with magnetic bases and tips resting on glass
plates, fixed on base plate, placed on top of pile, equi-spaced around the pile top.
Support of datum bar is 3D or minimum 2m away from the test pile edge.

4.2.5 Total unloading may be carried out, if possible. A period of 15 minutes.


4.2.6 In case of any reference, please follow the job procedure or IS:2911 Part-IV
4.2.7 However routine test shall be carried for a test load of at least one and half times
he working load; the maximum settlement of the test loading in position position
being not exceeding 12 mm for piles diameter up to and including 600mm.
ROUTINE VERTICAL PILE LOAD TEST SCHEME

Safe Load of Pile = 89 Metric Ton


Test Load on Pile (89 X 1.5) = 133.5 Metric Ton
Load Scheme
Dia. of Jack Ram = 16.5 cm
Area of Jack Ram (a) = 213.78 cm²
Least Count of Pressure Gauge (P) = 10 kg/cm²
Least Count of Pressure Gauge = P X A = (kg/cm2 X cm2)
1 Small Division Each =10 X 213.78=2137.8

Say = 2.138 Metric Ton

Required load in one increment is about 20% of 89 MT = 17.8 MT


Applied load as per available arrangement = (2.138 X 9 Div) = 19.24 MT
