: Guidelines address the safe setup and erection of massive Kentledge weights to prevent hazards to workers and the public.
: The guidelines strongly caution against using concrete blocks as Kentledge for pile load tests exceeding 3000 tonnes, due to the significant height required and the potential danger in the event of collapse. For such large tests, the project team is advised to consider steel plates, tension piles, ground anchors, or alternative methods such as bi-directional load testing.
GeoSS focuses on several key areas to ensure the structural integrity and serviceability of pile foundations:
Understanding the behavior of pile groups in complex geological formations (e.g., Kallang Formation).
As the first piles were jacked into place, the was used for load testing—a standard GeoSS-verified practice for confirming that the real-world bearing capacity matched their mathematical models.
For complex or problematic soils, such as karst limestone formations or deep alluvial clays, precise verification metrics are enforced: Raft and Piled-Raft Foundation Guidelines | PDF - Scribd
