Rapid load testing methods for piled foundations are generally easier and quicker to mobilise than classic static tests, and are less complex to analyse than dynamic load tests. A recently developed rapid load pile testing method known as the Statnamic test is seeing greater use in the UK for the assessment of piles. For foundation design, it is necessary to derive the equivalent static load-settlement curve from the rapid load test data by eliminating inertial and damping effects. Existing methods of test analysis generally provide good correlation with static tests for sands and gravels, but overpredict pile capacities by up to 50% for clays. In order to gain an insight into the behaviour of rapid load pile testing in clays, a full-scale pile instrumented with accelerometers, strain-gauged sister bars and a tip load cell was tested in a glacial lodgement till near Grimsby, UK. The soil around the pile was also instrumented with radially arrayed buried accelerometers. The test pile was subjected to rapid...
