Initial Tests on piles:
This test is performed to confirm the design load calculations and to provide guidelines for setting up the limits of acceptance for routine tests. It also gives an idea of the suitability of the piling system. Initial Test on piles are to be carried out at one or more locations depending on the number of piles required.

Load applied for the initial (cyclic) load test is 2.5 times the safe carrying capacity of the pile. Loading for initial Test in conducted as per Appendix 'A' Clause 6.3 of IS-2911 Part IV.

Routine Tests on piles:

Selection of piles for the Routine Test is done based on number of piles required subject to maximum of 1/2% of total number of piles required. The number of tests may be increased to 2% depending on the nature/type of structure. The test load applied is 1.5 times the safe carrying capacity of the pile. The maintained load method as described in Clause 6.2 of IS-2911 (Part IV) - 1985 shall be followed for loading for the Routine Tests.

This test will be performed for the following purposes:
(a) To ensure the safe load capacity of piles
(b) Detection of any unusual performance contrary to the findings of the initial Test.
