The Bi-axial load testing method has been proved advantageous over the conventional pile load testing method in many aspects. A bidirectional load test using the Supercell technology was executed on 1.2 m diameter cast-in-place concrete pile at Ahmedabad. An investigation has been performed for the parametric studies and analyses to differentiate between long and short pile, foundation settlement, foundation stiffness. This case is analyzed using finite element program PLAXIS 2D. The self-weight of the upper pile segment was taken into account. The results obtained when analyzed in PLAXIS and when field test done is being compared. The equivalent top-load curve is used to illustrate as if the pile loaded from the pile head such as conventional head-down test.
