Hi,

Can someone brief me the criteria of pile set and pile load test for friction pile and end bearing.Please correct me if im wrong as well.

Friction pile - no set taken during driving, wait for at least 2 weeks for dissipation of negative pore water pressure n mobilisation of the friction then conduct the static load test.

ENd bearing - set taken during driving, static load test could be conducted the next day.

Any additional information that i should know or please correct me when im wrong. i'm here to learn.
