摘要

Exponential growth in urbanization and industrialization has increased the load requirements of structures and thus imposes a higher possibility for inclusion of deep foundations in design. Recent ongoing projects must be delivered considering the economy, safety, time constraints and sustainability. Bored cast-in-situ piles of Dia 800 mm and 1000 mm embedded in alluvial soils are designed to carry the superstructure loads. Static load tests are conducted on initial load test piles and high-strain dynamic load test (HSDT) is carried out for routine load tests on working piles which are identified by the Engineer-in-charge. This paper presents the comparison of the pile load test results between the static load tests and HSDT conducted on both 800mm and 1000mm Dia piles of lengths 26 m and 28 m embedded in alluvial deposits. These HSDT pile field results were subsequently checked with the more rigorous signal matching technique by a computer program CAPWAP (Case Pile Wave Analysis Program) to confirm the static pile capacity obtained at site. Also, this study summarizes the behavioural pattern obtained during various pile load tests (i.e., axial & lateral) through static as well as dynamic modes of loading and pile integrity tests for above-mentioned structures. This comprehensive study will not only help as a guide to use of the dynamic load tests in comparison with static load tests. HSDT tests also help to identify any abnormalities present in the pile. When compared to static load tests, dynamic load tests save the project time and the cost which are very much essential in this fast-growing construction project.
