1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General
This report serves to transfer the data from instrumented static pile load test
conducted for PROPOSED ERECTION OF A BLOCK OF 25 STOREYS CONDOMINIUM
FLATS DEVELOPMENT (TOTAL 80 UNITS) WITH 3 BASEMENT CARPARKS, SWIMMING
POOL & COMMUNAL FACILITES ON LOT 01070N TS 24, which was started on 5
October 2012 and completed on 8 October 2012. The purpose of instrumentation
on pile load test is to ascertain the load distribution characteristics of soil
supporting the pile shaft and to establish the design of the pile.

1.2 Soil profile and preliminary design of pile

The Ultimate Test Pile (UTP) is a 1000mm diameter bored pile, with embedded pile
length 39.68m from RL115.09m (Ground Level). The working load for the test pile is
600.4Ton. The UTP is tested to 4.05 times of the working load, which is 2431.6Ton.
As seen from the piling records, the soil profile consists of a 3m upper layer of
brown mixed with dark brown gravelly Sandy SILT with concrete (Backfill) (0-3m),
followed by 17m of Firm to Stiff light brown and light brownish, yellow fine to
coarse Sandy SILT, (Bu kit Timah Granite-Residual Soil) GVI (3-20m). The successive
layers are Very stiff light brownish yellow Sandy SILT (Bukit Timah Granite-Residual
Soil) GVI (20-2sm) to 28m depth, Hard brownish yellow Sandy SILT (BukitTimah
Granite-Residual Soil) GVI (28-33m) to 33m depth, Hard light bluish grey slightly
gravelly fine to coarse Sandy CLAY very Sandy SILT (Bukit Timah Granite) GV
(33-38.48m) to 38.48m depth, Moderately strong medium grey spotted with white
Granite moderately weathered, medium spaced fractures (Bu kit Ti mah Granite) Giii
(38.48-39.48m) to 39.48m depth, Moderately strong to strong medium grey
Granite slightly weathered, medium spaced fractures (Bu kit Timah Granite) Gii
(39.48-39.68m) to 39.68m depth.

INSTRUMENTATION AND TEST

The UTP consisted of 56nos of vibrating wire type strain gauges (VWSGs) at 14
different layers and three telltale extensometers as shown in Fig. 1.

J'

Three tell tale extensometers were installed at depth 39m, 33.3m and 14.89m
below the pile head level (RL115.3m). Load cell was equipped at pile top to monitor
the applied load on pile head at each increment, while dial gauges and dumpy level
were used to monitor the pile head settlements.

2.1 VIBRATING WIRE STRAIN GAUGES (VWSG)

Vibrating wire strain gauges (VWSG) consist of a calibrated wire tensioned to a
known distance between two end blocks. The VWSG's are connected with electrical
wires to a power source and digital readout box. At each applied load increments
during the pile load test, a signal is sent to a plucking coil which plucks the wire and
creates a vibration. The frequency of the vibration is recorded and referenced to a
change in length, or strain. The theory is, when pile is loaded; the VWSG experience
the same strain as pile. Knowing the strain at each load and elastic modulus allows a
calculation of load along the pile profile as explained in Section 2.2. Skin friction can
be calculated in the same way as explained in Section 2.2 using Eq. (3).

2.2 Static pile load test

The pile was tested after 8 days of its installation. l<entledge method was used to
apply load on the pile head. The pile was tested according to the standard test
procedure. The working load for this test pile is 600.4Ton.
In this test, the pile was tested to 405%. 25% load increment ([Link]) was
applied at each step before loaded to 200%, and 10% load increment (60Ton) was
applied at each step from 200% to 405%. The pile will be maintained for 1 hours
when it was loaded to 100%, 200%. The pile will be maintained for 18 hours when it
was loaded to 300%. The pile will be maintained for 1 hours when it was loaded to
405%.After that, it will be unloaded in steps of 50% (300Ton) to 0 Ton.

F.
3. RESULTS

3.1 Load settlement curve

The load & average settlement vs time is shown in Fig 2. The load settlement curve
as obtained is shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Elastic compression of a free standing pile
and Davisson's (1972) failure criteria has also been plotted.
During the test, as obtained from average readings, the pile head settled by
39.66mm and 47.345mm (Average reading of scale ruler and dial gauge) when
subjected to 2431Ton and 2461Ton (405% and 410% ofWL).

3.2 Load distribution curve

As described in Section 2.1, the load distribution curve can be evaluated from the
strain measurements along the length of pile.

3.2.1 Modulus of pile

!

I
The concrete modulus is a function of stress on pile. Over the large stress range
imposed during a static loading test, the difference between the initial and final
tangent module for pile material may be substantial and the conclusion based
upon a constant modulus may lead to wrong interpretation of shaft and toe
bearings. Fellenius (2006) has suggested the conversion of every measured strain
value to stress via its corresponding strain-dependent secant modulus. The
equation for the tangent modulus line is:

rI
J,

M=(~;)=as+b

(4)

which can be integrated to:

er =(~}, 2 +bs

However,

Es= 0.5 as +b
Where, a =-0.028 and b = 42

3.2.2 VIBRATING WIRE STRAIN GAUGES

The load distribution curves, using VWSG's data, have been plotted in Fig 9.
Whereas the mobilized unit skin friction for this pile are shown in Fig 8.
The Unit Skin Friction of Pile at maximum load of 405%WL is shown in Fig 6.

3.3 Unit end bearing resistance

The variation of unit end bearing with applied load at maximum load of 405%WL is
shown in Figure 7. It is obtained from VWSG's readings. The toe bearing increased
linearly with the additional load. The toe bearing mobilized at 2431Ton (4.05 X WL),
2
equals to [Link] which is equivalent to 11414.6kN/m unit end bearing. Design
unit end bearing is 7500kN/m2.

4. Conclusions
The test pile was loaded to 2431Ton (4.05 X WL) during this load test. The estimated
shaft resistance and toe bearings obtained from VWSG's readings are 1534.5Ton
(63.12%) and [Link] (36.88%) at 2431Ton (4.05 X WL).
The corresponding unit toe bearing is 11414.6kN/m2.
For the detail distribution of mobilized parameter refer to Table 1.

From the settlement performance and the details analysis from the instrumentation,
we concluded that the geotechnical capacity of this PTP has not been fully mobilized
when loaded to 405% WL. The PTP pile encountered structural failure at 410%WL
(2461Ton).

Note:
Unit skin friction from 0 to 39.18m is from VWSG analysis. Refer to table 4.
Unit skin friction from 39.18 to 39.68m is estimated using the last layer unit skin
friction, 77.3Ton/m2.
Total skin friction is equal to [Link] at 405%WL, so end bearing [Link] at
405%.
Unit end bearing 11414.6kN/m2, design unit end bearing 7500kN/m2.
