A Rapid Load Test (RLT), developed to determine the initial stiffness and bearing capacity, is an economical and practical alternative to a Static Load Test (SLT). The broad application of RLT, however, was hampered by uncertainty about the interpretation of the test results. This book offers clear guidance on the available analysis techniques and their reliability.
The guidelines were related to an international standard that is drawn up by CEN and can be used in two ways:
Straightforward interpretation of test results, chapters 1-3
Interpretation with...
