Book Chapter
Static Loading Tests
2015
Overview
This chapter discusses various static loading tests, focusing first on the two types of plate loading tests, namely low‐pressure loading test to determine the soil's stiffness, and high‐pressure loading test to determine the safety coefficient related to the limit load. The low‐pressure loading test consists of applying a supposedly even pressure to the surface of the ground by means of a rigid plate. High‐pressure loading test is carried out with a small section bearing plate located in the bottom of a well, at the presumed level of the foundation. The chapter then focuses on the pile‐loading test, which consists of loading a pile vertically or horizontally up until its load‐bearing capacity or its critical load, in order to verify that the effective load is in line with the expected load. Two types of loading can be distinguished: progressive loading with no intermediary unloading and progressive loading with intermediary unloading.
