46 Part 4 How can we improve the current practice? 91 Lessons Learned 1. When in doubt, conduct independent interpretation. 2. Need to improve current practice of load test interpretation. 3. Report should provide plots at different stages of data reduction. 4. Skin friction in OA can be very variable, i.e. fs 0.5N to 5N but typically 2N to 3N. 5. End bearing is usually not fully mobilised. 6. Use small pile size in preliminary load test. 7. Study the borehole logs. Is the test pile in clay or sand? 8. Go back to fundamental when in doubt. f s = α c u f s = β σ v f p = 9 c u f p = ½ N q σ v 92 46
47 Moving Forward 1. The soil condition at the preliminary test pile location must be known. Useful to know fines and clay content. 2. Detail piling record -- soil and rock encountered; date and time at each layer interface; difficulties encountered. 3. Detail concreting record volume vs height 4. Concrete strength at 14, 21 and 28 days. 5. Plot measured strain vs applied load at each strain gauge level: (i) each strain gauge; (ii) average strain; and (iii) adopted strain. Identify questionable strain gauges which are ignore in computing the average strain. Ignored 93 Moving Forward (cont d) 6. Plot tangent modulus vs average or adopted strain: (i) data from each level; and (ii) data from all strain gauges in one plot. 7. Plot strain vs depth at different applied loads: (i) average strain; and (ii) adopted strain. Adopted 47
48 Moving Forward (cont d) 6. Plot tangent modulus vs average or adopted strain: (i) data from each level; and (ii) data from all strain gauges in one plot. 7. Plot strain vs depth at different applied loads: (i) average strain; and (ii) adopted strain. Adopted Moving Forward (cont d) 6. Plot tangent modulus vs average or adopted strain: (i) data from each level; and (ii) data from all strain gauges in one plot. 7. Plot strain vs depth at different applied loads: (i) average strain; and (ii) adopted strain. Adopted 48
49 It is desirable to have two sets of the plots below to be included in the interpretation report 1 st set is based on raw data before adjustment and 2 nd set is after adjustment. 97 Moving Forward (cont d) 8. Plot load transfer curves for different applied loads: (i) before adjustment; and (ii) after adjustment. 9. Plot mobilised skin friction and end bearing vs applied load. 10. Plot load vs settlement curve. 11. Provide data in Excel file when requested. 12. Use automated data logging system Before adjustment After adjustment 98 49
50 Last but not least... The instrumentation sub-contractor should be an independent party working directly under the client. Once the report is done, it should be sent to all parties involved. 99 Part 5 A minor modification to current practice on the interpretation of pile load test data
51 A New Approach in Interpretation of Pile Load Test F = E s A ε Current Method Concrete modulus E s = ½ A ε + B Pile diameter Constant F = E s A ε ρ Proposed Method Concrete modulus E s based on cube strength Pile diameter Constant Fudge factor, ρ ρ = varies with each strain level 101 How do we apply the new approach? 1. Compute average strain for each strain level. 2. Plot strain-vs-load at each level. Make adjustment where appropriate. 3. Estimate concrete modulus based on cube strength. 4. Compute tangent modulus for each level. Determine the fudge factor ρ for each strain level. Make adjustments where appropriate Delete Δσ ΔQ / (Area ρ) E t = = Δε Δε Level H : ρ = 1.0 Level H : ρ = variable
52 5. Compute forces using average strain and secant modulus. F = E s A ε ρ 6. Plot strain distribution and load transfer curves. 7. Plot N-vs-depth and construct the design load transfer curve. 8. Plot mobilised f p and f s versus applied load.
