  • Aashto Soil Classification (Astm D3282)

MODULE-3 Earth Resistivity Test (per IS 3043:1987): Soil resistivity directly affects the design of a grounding (Earthing) electrode system and is the prime factor that determines the resistance to earth of a grounding electrode or grounding electrode system. Therefore, prior to the design and installation of a new grounding electrode system, the proposed location shall be tested to determine the soil's resistivity.

Module-4 : Load testing

  • Pile load Test (Compression and Lateral)
  • Vertical Load Test (Compression) as per IS: 2911 (Part IV) - 1985
  • two types of Vertical Load Tests (in compression):-
  • (1) Initial
  • (2) Routine Test
  • 1. Lateral Load Test as per IS: 2911 (Part IV) – 1985
  • 2. Pull-Out Test as per IS: 2911 (Part IV) - 1985

MODULE-5 :Offshore Pile Monitoring/ Dynamic Pile Testing

MODULE-6:High Strain Dynamic Pile Testing (HSDT) / Pile Driving Monitoring– ASTM D 4945.
