Compression Test : • Stresscontrolled tests are performed by applying vertical loads to the pile and observing or measuring the vertical pile displacement. • The load increments are typically: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200% of the estimated capacity (the design load of the pile), until excessive pile displacement (failure) is observed.
