This test shall be conducted as far as possible at the cut off level of

The test may be conducted by introducing a hydraulic $ack, with gauge
between two piles or pile groups under test or the reaction may be
suitable obtained otherwise these tests may also be done by applying
lateral pull by a suitable set up. 1f it is conducted by $ack located
between two piles or groups, the full load imposed by the $ack shall be

taken as the lateral resistance of each pile or group. The loading
should be applied in increments of about 2@ of the estimated safe
load.
&fter applying each increment of load, the next increment of load shall
be applied after the rate of sandy solid and 2.2 mm per hour in clayey
soil or two hour which ever is earlier.
Displacements shall be measured by using at least two dial gauge
spaced at "2 cm and kept hori?ontally one above the other on each

of $ack axis, then the two dial gauges may be kept at a distance of "2
