scope:

NEN-EN-ISO 22477-10 establishes the specifications for the execution of rapid load pile tests in which a single pile is subject to an axial load in compression to measure its load-displacement behaviour under rapid loading and to allow an assessment of its measured compressive resistance (Rc,m) and corresponding load-displacement behaviour. This part of ISO 22477 is applicable to piles loaded axially in compression. All pile types mentioned in EN 1536, EN 12699 and EN 14199 are covered by this part of ISO 22477. The tests in this part of ISO 22477 are limited to rapid load pile tests only. This part of ISO 22477 provides specifications for the following: a) investigation tests, whereby a sacrificial test pile is loaded up to ultimate limit state; b) control tests, whereby the pile is loaded up to a specified load in excess of the serviceability limit state.
