One hydraulic jack (1x400) ton capacity will be provided on top of the pile head as loading apparatus. One hydraulic jack (1x165) ton capacity will be provided on top of the pile head as loading apparatus. One hydraulic jack (1x59) ton capacity will be provided on the side of the pile head as loading apparatus.
1.3
Ball Bearing To provide non-eccentric load to the pile head, a ball bearing shall be inserted in between the reaction beam and the hydraulic jack. Dial gauges Four dial gauges (Mitutoyo brand) will be provided to monitor the pile movements by mounting between the pile head and reference beams. The micrometer has a range of 0-50 mm and an accuracy of 0.01 mm. Reference Beam Two reference beams (channel 125x65x5 mm) will be cross-connected and laid on support, firmly embedded in ground with one end fixed and the other end freed. Leveling instrument Relative movements of the test pile head, reference beam and anchor pile will be checked by a Shokisha precise leveling instrument with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. Readings will be made on ruler scale fixed on the reading points (1 point at pile head, 2 points at reference beams and 1 point at each anchor pile).

The test shall conform to the modified ASTM D 1143-81(Reapproved 1994) item 5.0 Standard Loading Procedure with load sequence in percentage of design load. Three cycles of test will be performed. Cycle 1 (maximum to 100% of the design load) A. B. The load will be added gradually by increasing from initial 0 to 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the design load. When each load increment will be achieved, the next load increment will be added only when the settlement rate will be less than 0.25 mm per hour or after 2 hours, whichever shall occur first. At each load increment, load, settlement and time will be recorded at 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240 minutes and every 2 hours with an accuracy of at least 0.01 mm. The maximum load will be kept constant for at least 24 hours and then reduced to 75%, 50%, 25% and 0% of the design load, respectively. Each load will be maintained until the rate of settlement would not be greater than 0.25 mm per hour or after two hours, whichever shall occur first. At "0" load, rebound movement will be recorded at 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 40, 60 minutes and every hour thereafter until a constant settlement will be reached.

The load will be added gradually by increasing from initial 0 to 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, 150%, 175% and 200% of the design load. When each load increment will be achieved, the next load increment will be added every after 5 minutes..
C. At each load increment, load, settlement and time will be recorded at 1 and 5 minutes with an accuracy of at least 0.01 mm. D. The load will then be reduced to 175%, 150%, 125%, 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 0% of the design load, respectively E. At "0" load, rebound movement will be recorded at 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 40, 60 minutes and every hour thereafter until a no further settlement will be experienced. F. The test pile will be considered failure when a rapid progressive movement of the pile in the direction of loading under a constant load or physical failure of the test pile is observed or a settlement of more than 15% of the diagonal dimension of the pile, which is equivalent to 90 mm.
2.2 Tension Pile Load Test
The test shall conform to the ASTM D 3689-90 (Reapproved 1995) Standard Test Method for Individual Piles Under Static Axial Tensile Load. with load sequence as explain below. The test will be conducted until the pile exhibit signs of failure. Cycle 1 (maximum to 100% of the design load) A. B. The load will be added gradually by increasing from initial 0 to 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the design load. When each load increment will be achieved, the next load increment will be added only when the settlement rate will be less than 0.25 mm per hour or after 2 hours, whichever shall occur first. At each load increment, load, settlement and time will be recorded at 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240 minutes and every 2 hours with an accuracy of at least 0.01 mm. The maximum load will be kept constant for at least 24 hours and then reduced to 75%, 50%, 25% and 0% of the design load, respectively. Each load will be maintained until the rate of settlement would not be greater than 0.25 mm per hour or after two hours, whichever shall occur first. At "0" load, rebound movement will be recorded at 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 40, 60 minutes and every hour thereafter until a constant settlement will be reached.

G. At each load increment, load, settlement and time will be recorded at 1 and 5 minutes with an accuracy of at least 0.01 mm. H. The load will then be reduced to 175%, 150%, 125%, 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 0% of the design load, respectively I.At "0" load, rebound movement will be recorded at 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 30, 40, 60 minutes and every hour thereafter until a no further settlement will be experienced.

The test shall conform to the ASTM D 3966-90 Standard Test Method for Individual Piles Under Lateral Load. with load sequence as explain below. The test will be conducted until the pile exhibit signs of failure. A. The load will be added gradually by increasing from initial 0 to 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, 150%, 170%, 180%, 190% and 200% of the design load. B. When each load increment will be achieved, the next load increment will be added after each load duration shown in Table 3. C. At each load increment, load and time will be recorded at 1, 5, 10 minutes with an accuracy of at least 0.01 mm. D. The test pile will be considered failure when a rapid progressive movement of the pile in the direction of loading under a constant load or physical failure of the test pile is observed. During the load test, records including plots of load vs. time and load vs. settlement will be maintained progressively.
