Pile Load Test for High-rise Buildings

Unreliable soil parameters (correct)

The color of the building

The number of piles used

The height of the building

Figure 1.21a anchors the horizontal reaction beam to the ground, while Figure 1.21b uses a kent-ledge.

Figure 1.21a uses two reaction piles far away from the test pile, while Figure 1.21b uses a kent-ledge to hold the reaction beam.

Figure 1.21a uses a kent-ledge to hold the reaction beam, while Figure 1.21b uses two reaction piles far away from the test pile. (correct)

Figure 1.21a uses hydraulic jacks, while Figure 1.21b uses heavy weights.
