3. Bi-directional Static Load Test (BDSLT)

3.1 Test Theory and Advantages
3.1.1 Theory of Load Cell Method
The BDSLT method of pile load test utilizes hydraulically operated Super-Cells embedded
inside the concrete of the pile. To determine the position of the cells the soil investigation
report has to be studied to work out the equilibrium point. The embedded Super-Cell is
specially designed using built in hydraulic jacks. Pressure is applied to the load cell by
hydraulic pump on the ground through the flexible hose embedded into the pile. The
pressure in the load cell is measured by pressure transducer and the displacements are
measured by displacement transducers which are connected to the load cell by telltale rod
embedded into the pile. When loaded the load cell expands, pushing the upper shaft upwards
and the lower shaft downwards, which would mobilize the side resistance and base
resistance of the upper and lower lengths of the pile. According to relationship between the
movement and their corresponding S-lgt and s-lgQ curves, bearing capacities of both upper
and lower portion of the pile can be determined. Adding up the modified side resistance of
upward pile shaft and the base resistance of downward pile shaft makes up the total ultimate
bearing capacity of the pile.
3.1.2 Advantages of Load Cell Test
2
Tel: 86-571-28223950 Fax: 86-571-28993137
a. High Test Load Capacity
Load cell capacity can be greater than 100MN and multiple cells can be used to test a pile,
increasing the test load capacity.
b. Improved Safety
No reaction system is required as for other static load test. No use of large quantities of
girder beams and concrete blocks which could topple if the base is not well prepared.
c. No Space or Access Problem
Load cell test can be performed next to existing buildings, under overpasses, highway
median strips and offshore, with much less space required compared to other static load
test.
d. Piles with Deep Cut Off Levels
For basement piles, test pile can be performed below ground, eliminating the pile extension
to ground level.
e. Test for Working Piles
With post test grouting techniques, testing of working piles can also be done.
f. Time Saving
Compared to static load test with test blocks, there is considerable time saving as no pile
built up or strip down is necessary.

3.6 Pile Shaft Axial Force Test

3.6.1Vibrating Strain Gauges
The vibrating strain gauges work on the principle that the natural frequency of a wire changes
7
Tel: 86-571-28223950 Fax: 86-571-28993137
at its length changes. Thus, by measuring the change in frequency with the vibrating wire
readout device, the corresponding stress can be calculated by means of relevant formulas, and
hence strain obtained. The axial load at each level where the VWSG is installed can be
calculated by the strain of the gauges multiplied by Young’s Modulus and cross section of the
pile area, of both the concrete and the main steel reinforcement. Therefore, the load
distribution along the pile shaft may be computed.
3.6.2 Vibrating Strain Gauge Installation and Embedment
a. Select strain gauge according to reinforcement bar diameter, and if there is no exact size,
similar one is also ok. Strain gauges are embedded in the border of different soil layers to
measure the pile skin friction of different soil layer.
b. Screw out the connecting bars of strain gauge, and weld them to the rebar in same or
similar size. Then screw down the strain gauge (with cable) to connecting bars by pipe
wrench, adhesive tape can be used to cover connection. It is important to cool the sensor part
by watering or wet cloth when welding to avoid the damage of sensor due to high
temperature during welding.
c. Fix 4 strain gauges in each section of different soil layer, to measure the skin friction of
different soil layer. So rebars with 4 well-distributed positions should be reserved in
reinforcement cage fabrication, and these rebars will be welded to cage after strain gauge
welding. Or rebars in these corresponding positions are cut after cage fabrication to weld
strain gauges.

3.6.3 Pile shaft stress test and calculation

a When vibrating strain gauge is applied, actual frequency of strain gauge will be converted to
force through calibration coefficient, and rebar strain equivalent to concrete strain in strain
gauge section will be calculated.
b In the process of data handling, testing points which are with big zero-drift, or irregular
variation should be deleted, and average strain of effective testing points in same
cross-section is calculated to get pile shaft axial load in same section by following formula:
Qi——Axial load of No. i section of pile shaft (kN);

——Average strain of No. i section;
Ei ——Pile shaft material elasticity modulus in section i (kPa);
Ai ——No.i pile shaft section area (m2);
c Tabulate the axial load at different section level under each cycle of loading test, and
graph distribution diagram. Calculate pile ultimate skin friction resistance in each soil layer
and ultimate end bearing according to axial load in each section under pile top ultimate
loading:
qsi—— pile shaft resistance between section i and section i+1(kPa);

qp——pile end bearing (kPa);
i——pile test section No., i=1，2，……，n，small to big from pile top;
u——pile shaft perimeter (m);
li ——pile length between section i and section i+1 (m);
Qn——pile toe axial force (kN);
A0——pile toe area (m2);
3.7 Test Results Analysis And Conclusion

3.7.1 Introduction
The measurement of the pile bearing capacity with bi-directional static load test method has
great superiority. Compared with the traditional method of static loading test, it can be
replaced completely from the angle of implication. The traditional static loading test is the
basic and most reliable method because of its similarity to the practical in load transfer, pile
soil interaction. There is only one load-deformation curve for single pile in the traditional
load testing which has two curves including upward and downward in self-balancing method.
Hence, equivalent conversion should be made and this is the core why it can be applied
widely.
The load case divides the pile into two parts. We should analyze the load transfer mechanism
separately. For the lower part, it seems to be similar to the traditional load testing in load
transfer. The upward shear stress was generated around the layer of upper pile under the
force of load cell which was set in the pile. Therefore, it decreases the effective self-weight
stress of the soil above the lower pile. The stress field is different from that of traditional
load test. For the upper part, the pile holds the negative friction resistance which is different
from that of pulling resistance pile because of the action position of uplift force. So we
cannot consider the distribution of the friction resistance equal with that generated by the
9
Tel: 86-571-28223950 Fax: 86-571-28993137
pulling resistance pile. Moreover, it will be more complex considering the influence of each
other.
We can get two load deformation curves from self-balancing test while there is only one
load deformation curve in traditional load test. In order to equivalently switch the result of
self-balancing into normal, we should firstly compare both the bearing mechanism so that
we can find the law of conversion, secondly, the bearing capacity and subsidence value
which get from the self-balance test should accord with the reality of project for control the
error. The key to these problems is doing enough comparison tests. See figure 4-2.
3.7.2 Equivalent Conversion Method
E.0.1: To convert two Q-S curves of upward and downward from Bi-directional static load
test into a Q-S curve of traditional load-deformation, to get pile top settlement, as shown by
E.0.1.
（a）Bi-directional load test curve （b）Equivalent conversion curve

E.0.1. Conversion curve of load-deformation
E.0.2 The Conversion is subject to the following assumptions:

1 Pile is elastomer；
2 Test pile is evenly divided into upper and lower parts, by the section of load cell;
3 The displacement of lower part of a bi-directional load tested pile equals that of a
compression pile after converted;
4 the relations of pile end bearing capacity vs settlement and skin friction resistance vs
displacement value in a bi-directional load test are the same as that in a conventional
top-down static load test;
5 Upper pile compression △s is equal to the sum of elastic compression caused by upper pile
base and side:
△s=△s1+△s2 (E.0.2-1)
△s1---elastic compression caused by the vertical load of the upper pressed pile;
△s2--- elastic compression caused by friction resistance of the upper pressed pile;
6 An average of skin friction resistance is applied to calculate the upper pile elastic

compression △s2 ;
7 Unit strain could be calculated by the upward and downward unit strain as well as average
sectional stiffness;
E.0.3 Calculation with embedded strain gauge should conform below provisions:
According to item7 in E.0.2, the pile above load cell is broken down into numerous
points(drawing E.0.3-1), in which any point i axial force Q(i) and displacement S(i) could be
shown as below:
Qd——load cell load（kN）;

Sd——load cell downward displacement（m）;
qsm——m (a point between i~n)skin friction resistance(assuming upward direction is in
positive value) (kPa）;
U(m)——m point pile perimeter（m）;
A(m)——m point pile sectional area（m2）;
E(m)——m point pile elasticity modulus（kPa）;
h(m)——segmentation unit m length（m）;
s0-pile top displacement；

su,sd-the upward and downward displacements of load cell；

3. Based on the above formula, the curve between skin friction resistance qsi from
bi-directional load test and displacement sm(i), qsi as regarded as the function of sm(i), by any
sm(i) we could get qsi., and also could get Qd with the curve between load cell load Qd and
downward displacement Sd. So for 2n unknown numbers from S(i) and Sm(i), 2n
simultaneous equations could be built. In case the load hasn’t been transferred to load cell, the
