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 D2699-23 Standard Test Method for Research Octane Number of Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel $44.00 $89.00 Add to Cart ASTM F2668-16(2022) Standard Practice for Determining the Physiological Responses of the Wearer to Protective Clothing Ensembles $27.00 $54.00 Add to Cart ASTM F1093-99(2023) Standard Test Methods for Tensile Strength Characteristics of Oil Spill Response Boom $25.00 $50.00 Add to Cart ASTM F2598-22 Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Sealed Storage Chests such as Cedar Chests, Hope Chests, Blanket Chests, Keepsake Chests $24.00 $48.00 Add to Cart
