ASTM D1143/D1143M-07(2013)e1

1.1 The test methods described in this standard measure the axial deflection of a vertical or inclined deep foundation when loaded in static axial compression. These methods apply to all deep foundations, referred to herein as piles, that function in a manner similar to driven piles or cast-in-place piles, regardless of their method of installation, and may be used for testing single piles or pile groups. The test results may not represent the long-term performance of a deep foundation.

1.2 This standard provides minimum requirements for testing deep foundations under static axial compressive load. Plans, specifications, and/or provisions prepared by a qualified engineer may provide additional requirements and procedures as needed to satisfy the objectives of a particular test program. The engineer in responsible charge of the foundation design, referred to herein as the Engineer, shall approve any deviations, deletions, or additions to the requirements of this standard.

1.3 This standard allows the following test procedures:

Procedure A	Quick Test	8.1.2
Procedure B	Maintained Test (Optional)	8.1.3
Procedure C	Loading in Excess of Maintained Test (Optional)	8.1.4
Procedure D	Constant Time Interval Test (Optional)	8.1.5
Procedure E	Constant Rate of Penetration Test (Optional)	8.1.6
Procedure F	Constant Movement Increment Test (Optional)	8.1.7
Procedure G	Cyclic Loading Test (Optional)	ASTM Volume 15.07:2012 ASTM Book of Standards Volume 15.07: Sports Equipment; Safety and Traction for Footwear; Amusement Rides; Consumer Products $119.00 $239.71 Add to Cart ASTM E410-17 Standard Test Method for Moisture and Residue in Liquid Chlorine $29.00 $58.00 Add to Cart ASTM C848-88(2006) Standard Test Method for Young's Modulus, Shear Modulus, and Poisson's Ratio For Ceramic Whitewares by Resonance $30.00 $60.00 Add to Cart ASTM C578-04 Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation $30.00 $60.00 Add to Cart
