ISO 22477-2 Geotechnical Research and Testing - Testing of Geotechnical Structures - Testing of Piles: Static Tensile Load Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 22477-2 testing. This standard covers the requirements for the application of static pile load tests in which a single pile is subjected to an axial static load in tensile force in order to define the load-displacement behavior.

This special section, ISO 22477-2, focuses on static tensile load testing of piles, a method used to evaluate the load-carrying capacity and behavior of piles subjected to tensile forces.

This standard applies to inclined piles as well as vertical piles. All types of piles are within the scope of this document. The tests considered in this standard are limited to sustained load tests. Cyclic load tests are not within the scope of this standard.

This standard provides specifications for performing static axial pile load tests:

• Checking that the pile behaves as designed;
• Measuring the resistance of a pile.

In the context of geotechnical engineering, piles are structural elements driven into the ground to support vertical loads. Static tensile load testing is performed to evaluate the capacity of piles to withstand tensile forces.
