Maintain Load Test (MLT) Explained | 𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Ever wonder how we Geotechnical contractors ensure quality assurance in piling? Well, here we had our intern Amirul Hakimi do an excellent video to explain a fraction of the geotechnical test.
Take your time on this, and we hope you all enjoy it! ✌️

Great explanation.
Some nitpick comment.
1. There is intrumented working pile as well.
2. Both have same risk to topple..wait until you see one..laymen call "anchor tercabut".🙂

Mantap

Thank you for making this video, hopefully i can apply it during my first day on site

[@geohanmedia4963]

You can do it!

Hi, i would like to enquire bout the difference of kn/m2 or ton/m2.. how do it calculate and convert? i've check many website still dont get a simple answer. some warehouse building spec will show i.e 5 kn/m2 some will put 3 ton per meter. let say if i have a pallet weight 500kg in a meter wide. How many pallet (500kg each) i can stack on top of it if the spec given is 5 kn/m2.. do it make any difference if use the stack rack like many other warehouse?

Keep it up !

That was great, I appreciate

Glad you liked it!

How about Bi-Directional method ?
What standard criteria using in the field ? Could share it ? 😅

[@geohanmedia4963]

Thanks for your suggestion. We would post in in the future.

What if the load cell shows reduction? Do we have to jack it back to the calculated force?

[@geohanmedia4963]

Yes, sometimes the load cell would show reduction due to elongation of the PC strands, relaxation of the locking wedges or the pile continues to settle. We would continue to increase the load or jacking until the desired load/force to continue the test.
