Pile Load Testing for Franki Piles

The document summarizes a pile load test conducted on a Franki pile at the Dasherkandi Sewage Treatment Plant project. The objectives of the test were to determine the pile's load carrying capacity and settlement under different loads. The test followed ASTM standards and involved applying increasing loads to the pile to generate load-settlement curves from which the ultimate load value and safe working load could be established. Key results from testing this pile are presented graphically.

Pile Load Test

Presented by:
Engr. Muraduddoula,QC Manager, DSTP Project
Objective

• This test is used to determine the “ Load Carrying Capacity”


of a pile

• This test gives us the value of


Ultimate Load Value

Safe Load Value

Settlement under different values of load


Types of Test for Single Pile

• Vertical static load test


Axial Compression test (ASTM D1143)

Axial Tensile test (ASTM D3689)

• Lateral load test (ASTM D3966)

• High strain dynamic test (ASTM D4945)

• Low strain Impact Integrity test (ASTM 5882)


Axial Compression test on Franki Pile
• Purpose of test
Determine the settlement under working load
Determine the ultimate bearing capacity

• Equipment
Hydraulic Jack
Hydraulic pump
Dial gauge
Reference beam
Test beam
Etc.
Axial Compression test on Franki Pile
• Test procedure (ASTM D1143)
 Pile test shall be carried out after 4 weeks (BNBC-2006)
 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
procedure
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
