Pile Load Test - Load & pressure Calculations

Project: Piling works for wagon loading Pipe Conveyor System at MRPL, Mangalore, Karnataka
Client: M/s. Gopal Technocon Pvt. Ltd.
End User: M/s. MRPL

Pile Details
Pile Dia 600 mm Ø
Design Pile Capacity 170 tons
Test Load on Pile 425 tons (2.5 times design capacity for Routine test)
Kentledge Load Required 531 tons (1.25 times test load)

Gauges/Equipments for testing

Hydraulic Jack 1500 tons capacity
Hyd jack ram area 2206 cm2
Plunger Dial Range ±25 mm travel
Least count of Plunger Dial 0.01 mm
Pressure Gauge 1000 kg/cm2
Least count of pressure gauge 20 kg/cm2

Load Calculations:
Load from main girder (ISMB 600 X 210) 4.9 tons (10m x 122.6 kg/m x 4 nos)
Load From secondary girder (ISMB 450 X 150) 18.8 tons (10m x 26 nos x 72.4 kg/m)
Load from Concrete Blocks 533.5 tons (220 blocks X 2.425 tons/block)
Load from sheets 4.6 tons (1mx1.25x5mmx7.65, 25 nos)
Packing plates 1 0.6 tons (1mx1.25x60mm)
2 3.4 tons (1x0.55x0.2x4x7.68)
3 0.3 tons (0.43x20x4x7.860)
4 0.044 tons (0.6dia of 20mm thick plate)

Total Load 566.1 tons > Kentlegde load Required. Hence OK

Pressure Calculations
Max. Pressure to be applied 193 kg/cm2
Pressure for design load on pile 77 kg/cm2
No. of increments for max. pressure 13 nos
