Pile load Tests
Pile load Tests
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I am researching the procedure for Pile Load Tests. In particular I am interested in Static Load Tests both for Trial Piles and for Working Piles.
Searching EC7 I have found the sections about the tests (7.5), but the contents are a bit ambiguous. The code gives some references (that I think describe the procedure), in particular ASTM journal references, but I do not have access to ASTM journals. On top of that I believe that the US equivalent is ASCE 20-96 which I cannot find either. Any help would be welcome and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Edit: Does the post fit better in another Activity Section? If so, please advise so I can move it (or try to).

RE: Pile load Tests
What exactly is your question? You dont like the way EC7 discusses the static load test?...
RE: Pile load Tests
After gathering the data, I know the procedure described in section 7.6 for calculating the characteristic and design resistances, so the step I am missing is the procedure for obtaining the data.
