(6) If the piles support a stiff structure, advantage may be taken of the ability of the structure to redistribute load between the piles. A limit state will occur only if a significant number of piles fail together; therefore a failure mode involving only one pile need not be considered.

(3) If the diameter of the trial pile differs from that of the working piles, the possible difference in performance of piles of different diameters should be considered in assessing the compressive resistance to be adopted. FC7(Goh) 108 (4) In the case of a very large diameter pile, it is often impractical to carry out a load test on a full size trial pile. Load tests on smaller diameter trial piles may be considered provided that: — the ratio of the trial pile diameter/working pile diameter is not less than 0.5; — the smaller diameter trial pile is fabricated and installed in the same way as the piles used for the foundation; — the trial pile is instrumented in such a manner that the base and shaft resistance can be derived separately from the measurements. This approach should be used with caution for open-ended driven piles because of the influence of the diameter on the mobilisation of the compressive resistance of a soil plug in the pile.

(6) During the load test of a pile subject to downdrag, positive shaft friction will develop along the total length of the pile and should be considered in accordance with 7.3.2.2(6). The maximum test load applied to the working pile should be in excess of the sum of the design external load plus twice the downdrag force.
