 SCOPE OF WORK FOR PLATE LOAD TEST

PILE TEST & ROD FOUNDATION TEST METHODOLOGY

A) CONSTRUCTION OF PILE / ROD FOUNDATION

Following steps are adopted to cast a pile:

Step-I Drilling a bore hole into the ground for mentioned (in the drawing) diameter and
depth.
Step-II Placing the steel leg inside the borehole.
Step-III Concreting the bore hole and providing collar/pedestal of mentioned height.
Step-IV Curing of concrete to be done

B) TESTING OF PILE / ROD FOUNDATION

 Test shall be carried out as per latest IS:2911 Part IV.

 Piles shall be tested for Pull out & Lateral loads as per mentioned loads on layout of
Project Site

C) LIST OF EQUIPMENT:
Lateral Test
 Pressure Pumping unit
 Hydraulic Jack of suitable capacity having load gauge of 100KN.
 Dial gauge with least count of 0.01 mm
 Steel Bearing Plate
 Appropriate chains, fasteners, and riggings as required.

Axial Test
 Pressure Pumping unit
 Hydraulic Jack of suitable capacity having load gauge of 100KN.
 Dial gauge with least count of 0.01 mm
 Steel Bearing Plate
 ISMB supporting beam
 Supporting Post.
 MS plate clamp

 SCOPE OF WORK FOR PLATE LOAD TEST

D) APPLICATION OF LOAD ON TEST PILES / ROD FOUNDATION

THROUGH JACK:

1. The test shall be carried out for 2 times of Safe Load, failure load or following
displacement, whichever is achieved earlier.
1.1) 12mm total displacement for Pull Out Test
1.2) 5 mm Total displacement for Lateral Test
2. The loading should be applied in increments of about 20% of the safe load up to Safe
Load Test Pile Value and after that load increments can judiciously be taken to reach final
test load.
3. The next increment should be applied after the rate of displacement is nearer to 0·1 mm
per 30 minutes ( ie 0.003 mm per minute)
3.1) Each Load & next increment of load application to be at least for 15 minutes.
3.2) One Pile Test Should take at least ONE HOUR to complete.
4. All instruments calibration report shall be available during Pile testing and the same shall
be shared as an appendix to the pile load test report.
5. Grade of concrete shall be M25 as per IS-456.
6. OPC 43/53 grade of cement to be used for concrete.
7. Support pile to be provided for lateral tests at 2.5m centre to centre distance from the test
pile.

E) PREPARATION OF REPORT

Report shall be prepared as per criteria given in latest IS:2911 Part IV, along with safe and
ultimate load calculation.
