Loading Procedures: Standard Loading Proceduresunless failure occurs first, apply and remove a total test load equal to 200 % of the proposed lateral design load of the pile or pile group as follows: Percentage of Design Load 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 170 180 190 200 Method Statement _ Pile Lateral Load test Load Duration, min -10 10 15 20 20 20 20 20 20 60 Page

JSPL Project, Anugul OATS, BBSR 150 100 50 0 Loading shall be continued till one of the following occurs: a) Deflection of the pile head exceeds 12 mm. b) The applied load on the pile is twice the assumed lateral load capacity of the pile in case of a separate test pile and 1.5 times the rated capacity in the case of working pile. Procedures for Measuring Movements: Take required readings at each properly identified gage, scale, or reference point as nearly simultaneously as practicable. Clearly indicate and explain any adjustments made during the tests to the instrumentation or to the data recorded in the field. Also clearly explain any discontinuities in the data. Take and record readings of time, load, and movement immediately before and after the application of each load increment and the removal of each load decrement. Take and record additional readings at 5-min intervals between load increments and load decrements. While the total test load is applied, take and record readings at not less than 15-min intervals. Take and record readings 15 min and 30 min after the total load has been removed. If pile failure occurs, take the reading immediately before removing the first load decrement. Safety Precautions: All operations in connection with pile load testing should be carried out in such a manner so as to minimize, avoid, or eliminate the exposure of people to hazards. Following are examples of safety rules to be followed in addition to general safety requirements applicable to construction operations. Keep all work areas, walkways, and platforms clear of scrap, debris, and small tools, and accumulations of snow and ice, mud, grease, oil, or other slippery substances. All timbers and blocking and cribbing material shall be of quality material and be in good serviceable condition with flat surfaces and without rounded edges. Hydraulic cylinders shall be equipped with spherical bearing plates, shall be in complete and firm contact with the bearing surfaces, and shall be aligned so as to avoid eccentric loading. Reporting: Sl. No. Pile Gr. No. Pile Dia (mm) Area Pile length below Cut-off Level (m) Design Load (MT) (fixed head) Test Load (MT) Gross displacement (mm) 10 10 10 --
Plot the Load vs Gross Displacement curve, Load vs Time curve, Time vs Gross Displacement Curve. The field load displacement data signed by site engineer for initial lateral test has to be attached. According to IS 2911 (part-IV) clause 7.4, the safe pile capacity should be least of the following a) Fifty percent of the final load at which the total displacement increases to 12 mm. b) Final load at which the total displacement corresponds to 5 mm. c) Load corresponding to any other specified displacement as per performance requirements.
