Static load test in Nuremberg
Up to 40,000 kN, own loading platform and beam system. For Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen, with own measurement technology and travel distance about 2.5 hours from Gotha.
What the test delivers.
The direct proof per DIN EN ISO 22477-1. The load-settlement line shows the real load behaviour under sustained load, up to 40,000 kN test force. Basis for foundation optimisation and for any disputed proof.
Details on the method are on the service page Static load test.
Burgsandstein and Blasensandstein of the Keuper, overlain by valley fill of the Pegnitz with sands and silts. The sandstone is weathered and loosened to varying degrees, its upper surface lies unevenly.
Loosened sandstone looks like rock in the core sample and still does not carry like rock. The base resistance assumption then comes out too high, which only shows under load.
Static load test in four steps.
- Structural design of the reaction system, coordination with structural engineering
- Setup of loading platform or beam system
- Load programme in load steps, measure settlement to the millimetre
- Evaluation, load-settlement line, report suitable for verification
The structural engineer gets numbers instead of assumptions. Measured bearing capacity allows a proof per Eurocode 7 without blanket safety margins.
Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen is geologically inconsistent. The test shows what the pile carries at exactly this spot, not what the ground model would suggest.
Differential settlement causes cracks, tilting and re-foundation. Tested piles are the cheapest part of structural stability.
