Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor common definitions of terms used inthis standard, see Terminology D653.3.

22、2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 cast in-place pile, na deep foundation unit made ofcement grout or concrete and constructed in its final location,for example, drilled shafts, bored piles, caissons, auger castpiles, pressure-injected footings, etc.3.2.2 deep foundation, na rela

23、tively slender structuralelement that transmits some or all of the load it supports to soilor rock well below the ground surface, such as a steel pipe pileor concrete drilled shaft.3.2.3 driven pile, na deep foundation unit made of pre-formed material with a predetermined shape and size andtypically

24、 installed by impact hammering, vibrating, or pushing.3.2.4 failure load, nfor the purpose of terminating alateral load test, the test load at which continuing, progressivemovement occurs, or as specified by the engineer.3.2.5 wireline, na steel wire mounted with a constanttension force between two

25、supports and used as a reference lineto read a scale indicating movement of the test pile.4. Significance and Use4.1 Field tests provide the most reliable relationship be-tween the lateral load applied to a deep foundation and theresulting lateral movement. Test results may also provideinformation u

26、sed to assess the distribution of lateral resistancealong the pile shaft and the long-term load-deflection behavior.A foundation designer may evaluate the test results to deter-mine if, after applying an appropriate factor of safety, the pileor pile group has an ultimate lateral capacity and a defle

27、ctionat service load satisfactory to satisfy specific foundationrequirements. When performed as part of a multiple-pile testprogram, the designer may also use the results to assess theviability of different piling types and the variability of the testsite.4.2 The analysis of lateral test results obt

28、ained using properinstrumentation helps the foundation designer characterize thevariation of pile-soil interaction properties, such as the coeffi-cient of horizontal subgrade reaction, to estimate bendingstresses and lateral deflection over the length of the pile for usein the structural design of t

29、he pile.4.3 If feasible, without exceeding the safe structural load onthe pile(s) or pile cap, the maximum load applied should reacha failure load from which the engineer may determine theultimate lateral load capacity of the pile(s). Tests that achievea failure load may help the designer improve th

30、e efficiency ofthe foundation by reducing the piling length, quantity, or size.4.4 If deemed impractical to apply lateral test loads to aninclined pile, the engineer may elect to use lateral test resultsfrom a nearby vertical pile to evaluate the lateral capacity ofthe inclined pile.NOTE 1The qualit

31、y of the result produced by this test method isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet thecriteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing/sampling/inspection/

32、etc. Users of this test methodare cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itselfassure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; PracticeD3740 provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.5. Test Foundation Preparation5.1 Excavate or fill the test area to t

33、he final grade elevationwithin a radius of 6 m 20 ft from the test pile or group usingthe same material and backfilling methods as for productionpiles. Cut off or build up the test pile(s) as necessary to permitconstruction of the load-application apparatus, placement ofthe necessary testing and ins

Remove any damaged orunsound mat

36、erial from the pile top as necessary to properlyinstall the apparatus for measuring movement, for applyingload, and for measuring load.5.2 For tests of single piles, install solid steel test plate(s) atleast 50 mm 2 in. thick against the side of the pile at thepoint(s) of load application and perpen

37、dicular to the line of theload action. The test plate shall have side dimensions not morethan, and not less than one half of, the diameter or sidedimension of the test pile(s). The test plate(s) shall span acrossand between any unbraced flanges on the test pile.5.3 For tests on pile groups, cap the

38、pile group withsteel-reinforced concrete or a steel load frame designed andconstructed to safely sustain and equally distribute the antici-pated loads. The connection between the piles and the cap shallsimulate in-service conditions. Pile caps shall be cast abovegrade unless otherwise specified and

39、may be formed on theground surface.5.4 For each loading point on a pile cap, provide a solidsteel test plate oriented perpendicular to the axis of the pilegroup with a minimum thickness of 50 mm 2 in., as neededto safely apply load to the pile cap. Center a single test plate onthe centroid of the pi

40、le group. Locate multiple test platessymmetrically about the centroid of the pile group.5.5 To minimize stress concentrations due to minor irregu-larities of the pile surface, set test plates bearing on precast orcast-in-place concrete piles in a thin layer of quick-setting,non-shrink grout, less th

41、an 6 mm 0.25 in. thick and having acompressive strength greater than the test pile at the time of thetest. Set test plates designed to bear on a concrete pile cap in athin layer of quick-setting, non-shrink grout, less than 6 mm0.25 in. thick and having a compressive strength greater thanthe pile ca

42、p at the time of the test. For tests on steel piles, or asteel load frame, weld the test plates to the pile or load frame.For test piles without a flat side of adequate width to mount thetest plate, cap the head of the pile to provide a bearing surfacefor the test plate or set the test plate in high

43、-strength grout. Inall cases, provide full bearing for the test plate against theprojected area of the pile.5.6 Elimination of Pile Cap Friction (Optional)Provide aclear space beneath the pile cap as specified by the engineer.This option isolates the lateral response of the piles from thatof the pil

44、e cap.5.7 Passive Soil Pressure Against Pile Cap (Optional)Develop passive soil pressure against the pile cap by construct-ing the pile cap below the ground surface and backfilling withcompacted fill on the side opposite the point of loadapplication, or by constructing the pile cap above the grounds

45、urface against an embankment. If specified, place compactedagainst the sides of the pile cap to the extent practicable.NOTE 2Deep foundations sometimes include hidden defects that maygo unnoticed prior to static testing. Low strain integrity tests as describedin Test Method D5882 and ultrasonic cros

46、shole integrity tests as describedin Test Method D6760 may provide a useful pre-test evaluation of the testfoundation.6. Apparatus for Applying and Measuring Loads6.1 General:6.1.1 The apparatus for applying tensile loads to a test pileor pile group shall conform to one of the methods described in6.

47、3-6.6. Unless otherwise specified, construct the test apparatusso that the resultant loads are applied horizontally, at approxi-mately pile cut-off elevation, and in line with the centralvertical axis of the pile or pile group so as to minimizeeccentric loading and avoid a vertical load component.NO

48、TE 3For lateral tests on inclined pile frames or pile groupsinvolving inclined piles, consider applying the lateral test loads at theactual or theoretical point of intersection of the longitudinal axis of thepiles in the frame or group.6.1.2 Struts and BlockingStruts shall be of steel and ofsufficie

49、nt size and stiffness to transmit the applied test loadswithout bending or buckling. Blocking used between reactionpiles or between the hydraulic jack and the reaction systemshall be of sufficient size and strength to prevent crushing orother distortion under the applied test loads.6.1.3 Reaction piles, if used, shall be of sufficient numberand installed so as to safely provide adequate reaction capacitywithout excessive movement. When using two or more reac-tion piles at each end of the test beam(s), cap or block them asneeded to develop the reactio
