Maintain Load (ML) test method shall be used
After completing pile test set-up increase load up to 2
times of working load (BNBC-2006).
Working load=1000kN; Test load =2000kN
If settlement more than 10% of pile diameter, consider
it is fail (BS EN 1997-1:2004)
Unloading the test load according to ASTM D1143

Result of Franki Pile Test
The pile test result are computed to obtain
the graphical relation between,
• Time vs Load curve
• Time vs Settlement curve
• Load vs Settlement curve
For any load settlement can be calculated by
