The BDSLT method of pile load test utilizes hydraulically operated jack embedded inside the concrete of the pile. Pressure will be applied to the load cell (into the pile) by hydraulic pump on the ground. During the process, the load cell will expand, pushing the upper shaft upwards and the lower shaft downwards, which mobilizes the side resistance and base resistance of the upper and lower lengths of the pile. With this method, BDSLT provides separate measurements of a pile’s end-bearing and skin friction along the pile’s length.
