 METHOD STATEMENT FOR BORED PILE STATIC LOAD TEST

1 INTRODUTION
This procedure is for the Static Load Testing of the 250mm diameter Mircopile at IMPROVEMENT WORKS
TO SG. SEBAB AT KAMPUNG KEMUNTING, BINTULU DIVISION, SARAWAK. Each test pile is to be
tested to to testing load as specified ie two times working load.

2 TEST PILE PREPARATION

A selected test pile is to be cut flush to the level required for the test so that the bearing surface will be per
pendicular to the axis of the pile. The concrete strength should achieve the 28 days of the design strength
and the borepile installation record should be prepared before testing.

3 KENTLEDGE SYSTEM
The kentledge system will be provided by concrete block with a total weight of about 15% heavier than the
test load requirement of the about package.
The test arrangement is show diagrammatrically in the sketch attached.

a. Test beams ( Providing a platform for the reaction counter weight and the jack )
b. Hydraulic jack.
c. Survey leveling instrument
d. Dial gauges
e. Scale rule
f. Temporary bench mark ( TBM )

4 METHOD OF LOADING
The test load shall be applied by mean of a jack. The load will be measured using a calibrated pressure
gauge in the hydraulic system. The hydraulic jack will be carefully aligned so that the load applied is co-axial
with the test pile.

5 MEASUREMENT OF PILE SETTLEMENT

Settlement of a test pile will be measured with 4 nos. of dial gauge installed at opposite sides of the test pile.
The dial gauges are also connected to reference beam. The reference beam is supported independently of
the test pile.

6 TEST PROGRAMME
CRP and Maintained Load Tests will be conducted on the test pile as proposed in Appendix 1.

7 TEST RESULTS
A copy of field test data and field results will submitted upon the completion of the Static Load Test.
A full engineering report on the Static Load Test will be submitted within two weeks from the completion of
the tests.

Procedure for loading, unloading and measurements

Maintained Load Test

1 The maintained load test shall be carried out in Two (2) cycle of the loading. The full test shall be 25% of the
working load increment of twice the working load repectively. Each cycle shall consist of a loading and
unloading stage with the following load increments :-
2 Dial gauge and datum reading shall be taken immediately before and after application of each load
increment. The reading shall be taken at 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. If beyond that the time reading
shall be recorded at every 1 hour. The rate of change in the settlement shall reduced to less than
0.25mm/hour before the next stage of load increment or decrement can be applied.
3 The test load shall be applied by means of a single hydraulic pump. Load / Settlement - Time and Load -
Settlement graphs shall be plot.
Test loading shall be generally in accordance with BS8004 for maintaned loads. Increamental loads shall be
as follows :-
