description Pseudostatic load test is usually employed as an alternative to the conventional static load test for piles. Recent developments showed that the well developed Statnamic tests can be substantially simplified by using a hanging weight falling over a cushion system that allows increasing the time length of the generated stress pulse. This work describes the design of the test method and a recently experience related to the application of the pseudostatic load test used to evaluate the bearing capacity of large diameter piles. The performed test showed that using moderate loads from 10 to 20 tons falling from 10 cm to 120 cm and cushions prepared at varied stiffness allowed to reach more than 800 tons of loading and the fully mobilization of the pile ultimate capacity. The main advantages of the proposed pseudostatic tests respect to the conventional Statnamic tests is the possibility to apply load increments by steps, the repeatability of each loading step and the simpler test setup required by the former.
