1. Purpose
Purpose of Initial Vertical Load Test is to Find-out the Safe Load carrying capacity on single piles of
2. Relevant Code
Initial pile load test shall be conducted on Test Pile as per I.S. 2911 (PART 4)-2013 CODE OF
3. Scope
Pile shall be constructed by DMC Mechanical Winch Rig or by Crawler Mounted Hydraulic Rig as
a. Pile shall be chipped of till the sound concrete level and pile head shall be built up with
M-35 grade of concrete.
(Note:- If the test is being conducted at higher level instead-off cut-off level due to
some site conditions like water table & other reasons then chipping the concrete and
making the pile head up to required level, earth shall be removed below the test level to
cut-off level and casing pipe shall be lowered of higher dia than the dia of pile so that
surrounding soil may not fallen to ensure to eliminate the surrounding friction of any
type. If soil is firmed/ dense then no need to lower the casing pile/ liner.)
b. Over the constructed Pile head a layer of POP/Cement Plaster shall be applied for
precise leveling of head and over the layer of POP/ Cement Plaster bearing plate shall
be placed.
c. Over the bearing plate jack shall be placed and over the jack ram 2nd bearing plate shall
be placed to support the girders.
d. Main girder MG-1 (combination of 2 Girders) shall be placed over the suitable support.
e. At suitable distance from the centre of main girder MG-1, two cross girder named CG-1
and CG-2 (Combination of 2 girders) shall simply rest at the top flange of Main girder
on both the sides.
f. U shape steel reinforcement shall be used to take the Anchorage from 4 Nos. anchor
Piles (design enclosed) which shall pass over the top flange of CG-1 and CG-2 and
shall be welded to the reinforcement of Anchor Piles. U shaped anchors shall be
tightened with the Top flange of CG-1 and CG-2 by small chisels (cheni).
g. All the Jacks shall be operated by single pump and a common manifold.
h. To record the settlements, four Dial Gauges of 0.01 mm sensitivity shall be positioned
at equal distances around the Pile.
i. The dial gauges shall be held by magnetic holders attached to Datum bar which shall be
resting on immovable support.

Loading computation:-
= 1483.65 Ton
OR
Loading computation:-
= 1266.00Ton

• Pressure Gauge :-
Pressure Gauge shall be got Calibrated by from NABL Accredited Laboratory from Delhi.
• Dial Gauge :-
Dial Gauge shall be got Calibrated by from NABL Accredited Laboratory from Delhi.
K.K. ASSOCIATES SHEET NO. 11
8. Measurement of Load :-
Load shall be measured by the taking the observation of pressure from the calibrated pressure gauge.
For example for 20 Kg/cm2 pressure Load for the computation shall be as below:-
Loading computation:-
= 56.55 Ton
Loading computation:-
= 36.17 Ton
9. Measurement of Settlement :-
Settlement of Pile head shall be measured by four nos. dial gauge having least count of 0.01 mm
sensitivity resting on the Datum Bar with the help of Magnetic Base. Plunger of Dial Gauge shall rest
Load measured by pressure gauge and settlement measured by the dial gauge as above shall be used
for plotting the load v/s settlement graph and arrive at the Safe Load Capacity of Pile.
Main Longitudinal reinforcement from the Anchor Piles shall be welded to the U- Shaped
Reinforcement Anchors. At the top of flange wedge shaped packing (Cheni) as shown shall also be
used.

11.Precautions
Precaution shall be taken during conducting the test that Datum bar is not disturbed by human
movement.
12.Safety Arrangements
• Safety tape shall be installed all around the test location and safety helmet shall be used while
• During the application and release of Load only Testing agency representative are allowed in the
Pit area.
• Sitting arrangement if any shall be at least 20-30 meters away from Test Pit.
• Calibration certificate of Dial gauges and Pressure Gauge shall be available at Site.

13.Terminology
b. Net Displacement - Net movement of the pile top from the original position after
the pile has been subjected to a test load and subsequently released.
c. Test Pile - A pile which is meant for Initial test and will not be a working
d. Total Displacement - The total movement of the pile top under a given load.
a. The test shall run in general as per procedures laid down in I.S. 2911 (PART-IV)-2013.
b. The pressure gauge of Jack and Dial Gauges shall be set to zero before application of any load.
c. The load shall be applied in increment of about 1/5 of the Safe Load and shall be maintained as
given under:-

displacement.
d. load increment shall be applied once the settlements under the applied load has been settled for
which I.S. code has mentioned threshold rate of settlement 0.02 mm per hour. Relevant clause is
pasted below :-
e. Further next increment shall be applied and shall be maintained as stated above. Increment shall be
given till the Final Test Load is achieved and same shall be maintained for 24 hrs.
f. Final Test load shall be unloaded in the same decrement and rebound shall be recorded at the
intervals of 15 minutes.

15. Procedure for resetting of dial gauges
4 Nos. of dial gauges of least count 0.01 mm with travel 0-25 mm shall be used to measure the pile
settlement. Once the settlement of Pile is observed around 20 mm all the dial gauges shall be reset one
Dial gauge A is showing 20.01 mm settlement, it shall be reset to 0.00 mm and settlement shall be
As per clause 7.1.5 of I.S. 2911 (PART-IV)-2013 LOAD TEST ON PILES, the Safe Load will be the
Least of the following (a and b):
a) For piles up to and including 600 mm diameter:
1) Two-thirds of the final load at which the total displacement attains a value of 12 mm unless
otherwise required in a given case on the basis of nature and type of structure in which case, the safe
load should be corresponding to the stated total displacement permissible; and
2) Fifty percent of the final load at which the total displacement equal to 10 percent of the pile
diameter in case of uniform diameter piles and 7.5 percent of bulb diameter in case of under-reamed
piles.
b. For piles more than 600 mm diameter:
1) Two-thirds of the load at which the total displacement attains a value of 18 mm or maximum of 2
percent pile diameter whichever is less unless otherwise required in a given case on the basis of
nature and type of structure in which case, the safe load should be corresponding to the stated total
displacement permissible.
2) 50 percent of the final load at which the total displacement equal to 10 percent of the pile diameter
in case of uniform diameter piles and 7.5 percent of bulb diameter in case of under-reamed piles.
