Pile and Jet grout Static Loading Tests
The pile static loading test is a method used on piles constructed -or which are planned to be constructed- on grounds or rocks in order to identify the carrying capacity of the piles.
After deciding on the pile the experiment will be based on, the drawing pile or anchors around which they will be place are produced. The concrete in cast in-situ piles should be at least 7 days old and the concrete endurance will reach twice the force of the maximum stretching during the experiment. The assumptions used in the analysis give different results in design methods and their sensitivity is not at the desired level, which is why a pile loading test is recommended for the pile structured design.
