PILE TESTING SPECIFICATION FOR DRIVEN PILES

G&P GEOTECHNICS SDN BHD pile TESTING SPECIFICATION for DRIVEN PILES 13 December 2005 pile TESTING SPECIFICATION FOR DRIVEN PILES GENERAL This SPECIFICATION deals with the TESTING of a pile by the application of an axial load or force. It covers vertical and raking PILES tested in compression ( subjected to loads or forces in a direction such as would cause the pile to penetrate further into the ground) and vertical or raking PILES tested in tension ( subjected to forces in a direction such as would cause the PILES to be extracted from the ground). This SPECIFICATION also covers high strain dynamic TESTING of installed working PILES . This SPECIFICATION shall be used for DRIVEN /jack-in PILES only. Clauses relevant to other pile types are for information only. DEFINITIONS Compression pile : a pile which is designed to resist an axial force such as would cause it to penetrate further into the ground.

Raking pile : a pile installed at an inclination to the vertical. Preliminary pile (for failure load test) : a pile installed before the commencement of the main piling works or specific pile of the Works for the purpose of establishing the suitability of pile and for confirming its design dimension and bearing capacity.
