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 B848-01 Standard Specification for Powder Forged (P/F) Ferrous Structural Parts $30.00 $60.00 Add to Cart ASTM D5383-02(2010) Standard Practice for Visual Determination of the Lightfastness of Art Materials by Art Technologists $30.00 $60.00 Add to Cart ASTM D6593-09a Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Automotive Engine Oils for Inhibition of Deposit Formation in a Spark-Ignition Internal Combustion Engine Fueled with Gasoline and Operated Under Low-Temperature, Light-Duty Conditions $50.00 $101.00 Add to Cart ASTM E273-10 Standard Practice for Ultrasonic Testing of the Weld Zone of Welded Pipe and Tubing $26.00 $52.00 Add to Cart
