Abstract A static load test is conducted to measure the actual response of a pile under applied load. Load testing provides the best means of determining pile capacity, and if properly designed, implemented, and evaluated should pay for itself on most projects. The manual provides guidelines concerning the planning, conduct, and interpretation of results of load tests performed on driven piles and drilled shafts. Axial compressive, axial tensile and lateral pile load tests are covered. The appendices contain a glossary of load testing terminology, guideline specifications, suggested load test procedures, load test reporting requirements, load test forms, and telltale details.
