Abstract:The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation hasĀ·
developed and implemented a "quick-load" method for load testing
piling and drilled shafts. Using this method a load test can be
completed in a relatively short time of one to two hours. On small
projects where the time consuming AASHTO test cannot be economically
justified, use of this test makes i:t feasible to use full-scale
load tests to verify foundation designs on these jobs.
The purpose of the information presented herein is to assist highway
engineers in understanding, using, and applying quick-load test
methods. Additionally it will provide them with the information
necessary to prepare specification~ and cost estimates for quick-load
testing.
