1. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of static axial compression load tests carried out on the
instrumented bored pile, called PTP2, at the above mentioned proposed site.
The pile has a nominal diameter of 900 mm and a penetration depth of 10.705 m from piling
platform level. The pile was to be tested to 18900 kN (3 x WL) or failure load whichever
comes first, in the test programme.
The main objective of the instrumented load test is to establish / verify the following for the
use in the design of working piles which are to be constructed in soil strata having similar
geological structure and by adopting similar construction practices :-
(i) To determine/confirm the bearing capacity of bored pile and its apportionment
into shaft friction for various soil/rock strata and end bearing;
(ii) To evaluate the design parameters in relation to the ultimate shaft friction and
end bearing; and
(iii) To study the behaviour of pile settlement and structural shortening under the applied
loads.
The load-movement relationship, the distribution of axial load along the pile and the load
transfer characteristics of the pile will be presented and discussed in details in this test report.
Results will be presented both in tabulated and graphical formats for easy discussion.

2. LOCATION OF TEST PILE AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Test pile location plan, installation record (including description of actual subsurface
condition encountered during boring) and relevant SI borehole information at the proposed
site are attached in Appendix A for ease of reference.

Ext. Lev 2a & 2b at interval from 1.5 m to 6.5 m depth;
Ext. Lev 3a & 3b at interval from 6.5 m to 7.5 m depth;
Ext. Lev 4a & 4b at interval from 7.5 m to 9.7 m depth and
Ext. Lev 5a & 5b at interval from 9.7 m to 10.7 m depth accordingly.
During static load testing, deformation of the pile under loading produces relative movement
between each and every two anchored intervals causing a change in the strain gauge wire
tension in the vw precision transducers and a corresponding change in its resonant frequency
of vibration. The resonant frequency is measured by plucking the Glostrext sensors to readout
box / datalogger, which also measures the frequency and displays the shortening reading and
strain reading.

3.3 PILE MOVEMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
The pile top settlement was monitored using the following instruments:
(i) Vertical scale rules fixed to pile top sighted by a precise levels with
micrometer attached, with the use of TBM reference for correction purposes;
and
(ii) 4 nos of Linear Variation Displacement Transducers (LVDTs) mounted to the
reference beams, with plunger pressing vertically against glass plates fixed to
pile top. Vertical scales were also provided on the reference beams to monitor
any movement during load testing.

datalogger is given in Appendix E). The large quantity of high quality data collected
from these instruments is able to produce reliable information for meaningful
interpretation.

strain gauge readings and estimated pile properties (steel content, cross-section areas
and modulii of elasticity). Computations made for test pile are based on as-built
details (including concreting record) known from the construction record.
For the test pile, the concrete pile modulus, Ec was back-calculated by measuring the global
strains near the pile top (collar casing debonded level from interval from 0.5 m to 1.5 m for
this case, sensor 1a & 1b) and the pile top loads. For each stage of loading, Ec is back-
calculated by assuming that the load at the level A is equal to the applied load at the pile top.
The values obtained for the loading stages of the test cycle are given in Table S1. Ec values
are also known to be strain dependant, therefore the back-calculated concrete values for test
pile are plotted against measured strain in Figure Ec (i) to obtain best fit curve to further
increase the accuracy of analysis. The difference between the loads at any two levels
represents the shaft load carried by the portion of pile between the two levels.

GL to Level B (4.0m depth bgl) :
At 6362 kN (1st Cycle) pile top load, fs attained was 78.0 kN/m2, at 12664 kN (2nd
Cycle) fs was 171.4 kN/m2 and at 18863 kN (3rd Cycle) fs was 286.1 kN/m2 .
