The TP100 tensile test kit enables quick and accurate vertical and horizontal tensile testing at specific locations, using a simple yet effective process. With a maximum vertical tensile load of 100kN and a horizontal tensile load of 60kN, it is ideal for assessing the load capacity of larger FIRST BASE pile diameters, including the V76, V89, V114, and V140.

The bearing capacity is investigated on the basis of shaft friction between the ground screw foundation and the relevant soil conditions. By combining this TP-100 set-up with our in-house developed PLC-A1 software, accurate force- and displacement measurements can be registered.

According to NEN 9997 protocol (testing of geotechnical structures) the results are transferred into calculation values of the specific pile bearing capacity. The research is based on load influences that are determined empirically. Static loads are temporarily relieved for short periods.

Goal

Determining the maximum load bearing capacity of a ground screw foundation in vertical and horizontal direction, adapted to a specific soil condition. All measurements are registered in a PLC-A1 in a database with the corresponding load-settlement diagram.
