Testing Procedure The LSTK CONTRACTOR shall design the test beams, cross beams, weight, etc.

and submit them to TEIL engineer for his approval. Pile Loading Test shall be performed by applying compression load to the pile top by means of a hydraulic jack against rolled steel joist (RSJ) or suitable frame capable of providing reaction and the settlement shall be recorded by suitably positioned dial gauges. The Kentledge consisting of RSJ or frame capable of providing reaction shall be used. The dead weight to be applied shall be 25% more than the maximum jacking force required. The C.G. of kentledge should be on the axis of the pile and the load applied by the jack should be co-axial with the pile. The dial gauges shall be positioned at equal distances around the piles and normally held by datum bars resting on immovable supports at least 5D (subject to a min. of 1.5m) away from the test piles periphery where D is the pile stem diameter of circular pile or diameter of the circumscribing circle in case of square pile. Settlement shall be recorded with preferably 3 dial gauges of 0.01/ 0.02mm sensitivity for single pile and 4 gauges for group. 9.1.2 Test Load Unless failure occurs first, test pile shall be loaded at a successive incremental load of 20% of the design load. As explained in clause 8.0, unless failure occurs first, test pile shall be loaded up to 200% ~ 250% of the design load (Initial Test) and 150% of the design load (Routine Test) Loading sequence in percentage of design load shall be as follows. Cycle 1 0% ? 20% ? 40% ? 60% ? (Routine Test)

80% ? 100% ? 120% ? 140% ? 150% ? 140% ? 120% ? 100% ? 80% ? 60% ? 40% ? 20% ? 0% < Security Level 2 > HPCL, Visakh PILE LOAD TEST ISSUED : 29.12.2008 JOB NO. : 6261 TOYO ENGINEERING INDIA LTD.

(Initial Test) 80% ? 100% ? 120% ? 140% ? 160% ? 180% ? 200% ? 180% ? 160% ? 140% ? 120% ? 100% ? 80% ? 60% ? 40% ? 20% ? 0% 9.1.3 Duration of Load and Intervals of Measurement 1. Settlement readings shall be taken before and after the application of each new load increment and at 2, 4, 6,8,10,15,30,60 minutes and at every 2 hours until application of the next load increment. 2. Each stage of loading in cycle 1 and cycle 2 shall be maintained till the rate of movement of the pile top is not more than 0.1mm per 30 minutes or 0.2mm per one hour or maximum of 2 hours which ever is earlier. 3. Further loading shall then be continued as in (1.) above till one of the

following occurs; a) Yield of soil-pile system occurs causing progressive settlement of the pile exceeding a value of one tenth (1/10) of the pile diameter. b) The loading on the pile top equals twice the rated capacity or as specified in the case of a separate test pile and 1.5 times the rated capacity of the pile in case of a working pile. 4. Where yielding of the soil does not occur, the full test load shall be maintained on the pile head for 24 hours or more if necessary and settlement readings shall be observed for every hour during this period. 5. Unloading shall be carried out in the same steps as loading. A minimum of 1 hour shall be allowed to elapse between two successive stages of load decrements in cycle 1 and cycle 2. The final rebound shall be recorded 24 hours after the entire test load has been removed. < Security Level 2 > HPCL, Visakh PILE LOAD TEST ISSUED : 29.12.2008 JOB NO. : 6261 TOYO ENGINEERING INDIA LTD. DOC.No. C-001 DHT PROJECT Sheet 10 of 14 9.1.4 The safe load on single pile for the Initial test should be least of the following a) Two-third of the final load at which the total displacement attains a value of 12mm unless otherwise 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. b) 50 percent of the final load at which the total displacement equal to 10

percent of the pile diameter in case of uniform diameter piles and 7.5 percent of bulb diameter in case of under-reamed piles. However, routine test shall be carried for a test load of at least one and half times the working load; the maximum settlement of test loading in position being not exceeding 12 mm. 9.2 LATERAL
