Dear Sir,

Sub: Extrapolation of Pile Capacities for Pile Nos. P46 and P7 using Chin’s Method

M/s. Geo Dynamics performed high-strain dynamic test on two r. c. bored piles (P46 and P7)
installed at the above project site. The field tests were conducted on 18th & 19th June, 2011.
Findings of these tests were summarized in our report dated June 21, 2011 (Our Ref.:
H.154.01.2011).

At the time of the testing, based on the data provided by you, it was our understanding that the
design/working loads for piles P46 and P7 were 800 tons and 600 tons respectively and so
accordingly the test loads were 1200 tons and 900 tons respectively (1.5 times design load).

The testing of pile P46 was terminated once the field capacity of 1236 tons with net set of 1mm was
reached at height of fall of 2.5m. Since the net set was less than 3 mm it was deduced that all the
soil resistance was not mobilized and pile still has more capacity than what was activated. Our
CAPWAP analysis indicated that pile had achieved an activated capacity of 1200 tons.

For pile P7 the field capacity of 790 tons with net set of 0.3mm was reached at height of fall of
1.5m. Our CAPWAP analysis indicated that pile had achieved an activated capacity of 916 tons.

0, 2011, as per
On July 20 p information provided
d by you, the
e actual dessign loads on
n piles P46 and
a P7
are 1000 tons and 800
8 tons respectively; increasing test loads to
t 1500 ton
ns and 120
00 tons
respectivelly.

e alternative
One of the es to estima
ate ultimate
e pile capaccities is to extrapolate
e t
the pile cap
pacities
utilizing Chin’s metho
od as descrribed below
w. Note tha
at this extra
apolation te
echnique ge
enerally
provides optimistic results. CAPW
WAP analysiss produces the
t simulated
d static load
d test curve and
a the
hich can be used for the extrapolattion. Accord
data of wh ding to Chin’s theory, ultimate pile load is
established
d as an inverse of th ht line portion of plot between pile
he slope of the straigh p top
displaceme
ent along X--axis and rattio of pile top
p displaceme
ent to the co
orresponding
g pile load along
a y-
axis. Such
h a plot for both
b the pile
es is attached herewith
h along with linear regre
ession to co
ompute
slope of the
e straight lin
ne portion of the plot for both the pile
es.

As determiined from Figures 1 and

d 2, the estim
mated ultima acities by chiin’s method for pile
ate pile capa
nos. P46 & P7 were 1666
1 tons an
nd 1428 ton
ns respective
ely; which are more than the requirred test
loads.

We hope this
t helps. However,
