Literature review Quasi-static and Dynamic pile load tests: Primarily report on non-static pile load tests

Pile testing, which plays an importance role in the field of deep foundation design, is performed by static and non-static methods to provide information about the following issues: (Poulos, 1998) - The ultimate capacity of a single pile. - The load-displacement behavior of a pile. - The performance of a pile during the test conditions. - The...

The effect of loading rate on pile bearing capacity of saturated sand

Pile load tests are commonly used by engineers to determine its bearing capacity. At present, there are three methods of pile load tests: the static, the dynamic and the quasi-static test. The static pile load test is done by applying an axial load on the pile with a long duration. The dynamic and quasi-static tests are done with an impact load...
