QUESTION 3 - In the initial (vertical compressive ) load test conducted on a single pile of

600mm diameter the following observations were made.

i)2/3 of the final load at which total displacement value reaches 12mm.

(2/3) x 186.157 = 124.104 kN.

The safe load is 124.104 kN.

ii)½ of the final load of the total displacement equal to 10% of the dia.

(½) x 700 = 350kN.

Therefore fhe safe load is the least value of all
