Abstract
The Statnamic load test is a kind of rapid load test and its loading duration is within about 200ms. This test has several advantages such that no reaction beams and no reaction piles are required, and that time for testing is very short compared to the static load test without a delay in pile construction work. However, the Statnamic load test results include dynamic effects such as inertial effect and penetration rate effect. When we use the Statnamic load test instead of the static load test, it is necessary to remove dynamic effects from the test results. This paper studies the interpretation methods of the Statnamic load test results, and systematizes their applicability in practice.
