Static load tests

is a proven method for determining the actual bearing capacity of piles or other deep foundation elements. Performed in accordance with standards such as ISO 22477-1, it provides a reliable assessment of load-bearing behavior under real-world conditions.

How static load tests works?

A pile is gradually subjected to axial loading using a hydraulic press. The resulting displacement—settlement or uplift—is recorded with high-precision sensors. The data is presented in load–displacement curves, allowing for accurate determination of the bearing capacity and reserve strength.

Test site preparation

Installation of reaction piles and positioning of the press system.

Measurement setup

Installation of displacement sensors (e.g., LVDTs) and dial gaugesr

Load application

Stepwise application of load with defined holding periods.

Data analysis

Generation of curves, interpretation of bearing behavior, and capacity estimation.

Procedure of static load test

The test is conducted based on a pre-defined loading scheme. Load increments and hold times are adapted to the project’s requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

When is static load testing recommended?

For new foundation systems, deep foundations, or in areas with uncertain soil conditions.

How long does the test take?

Typically 1 to 2 days per pile, depending on the number of load steps and the test procedure.
