Figure 4.
A time series graph showing pile load and movement with multiple curves, including expansion, settlement, and load stages.The graph plots movement in millimetres on the left axis and load in meganewtons on the right axis against time from 0 to 2000 minutes. Curves represent O cell expansion, pile top movement, pile toe movement, barge settlement, corrected barge movement, and test load. The load increases in steps to serviceability and ultimate limit states, labelled S L S load plus pile self-weight and U L S load plus pile self-weight. Early instability of the hydraulic jack system and a survey error are marked. Movement increases gradually, then sharply near peak load before load drops to zero.

Raw plots of pile movements and test loads versus time for Test Pile #2A

Note: This figure presents the typical raw test data collected from Test Pile #2A, that is, various measured pile movements and test loads versus time
