Please refer Pile Testing Layout for varying depths considered for both cases.
For seven different depths (1.7m, 1.85m, 2m, 2.2m, 2.4m, 2.7m & 3m depths) both 0.15m & 1.35m
loading distance is considered.
As per discussion with Client, half pile nos. are being tested for 0.15m & other half for 1.35m.
Kindly refer revised document.

0.5MT is considered as per tracker manufacturer's recommendation.
