Abstract

This report considers the development of guidance on rapid load pile testing within the European context that has led to the development of FprEN ISO 22477-10, Geotechnical investigation and testing — Testing of geotechnical structures — Part 10: Testing of piles: rapid load testing. This report summarises current European national guidance on rapid load pile testing and goes on to outline an informative test interpretation method included in FprEN ISO 22477-10 that goes someway to developing design methods under EN 1997-1. The report finishes with considerations for EN 1997-1 evolution and future ETC3 reporting.
