A pile loading test carried out just to confirm that LDEt.,6i
the pile has a certain at-least capacity, that is, a ?ev G=S4>
proof-test, needs no special instrumentation. .p9h$z^
However, when the purpose of the test is to provide P$/A! r
data for design of a piled foundation, for example rp#*uV9;
where the test results will be applied to piles that wmE,k1G
can be longer or shorter or have different size, for iT5SuIv
resolving a downdrag problem, or for determining :5M}Iz7
the distribution of the soil resistance, then, the pile 3cO[t\/up
must be instrumented so that the load transfer THgzT\_zq
(resistance distribution) can be determined
