Design and Construction of Pile Foundations - Code of Practice

This document provides an overview of Indian Standard IS 2911 (Part 4) : 2013 which covers guidelines for load testing of piles that are discussed in other parts of IS 2911 as well as IS 1904 and IS 2911 (Part 1-4). It describes the different types of load tests covered including vertical load (compression), lateral load, and pull-out tests. It specifies that high strain dynamic testing, statnamic testing, and embedded load cell methods are beyond the scope of the standard. Load tests involving vibratory loads, moments, and other special circumstances are also not covered.
