The diameter of the piles varied from 0.80 to 1.50 m and their lengths from 23 to 45 m. Four piles were instrumented either with strain rods or strain gages. Analysis of the load tests was carried out  with respect to both load transfer and settlement. The load transfer behavior was evaluated by means of a step integration technique, while  for settlement a simplified method based on Mindlin's approach for subsurface loading within an elastic halfspace was selected. The results showed  that load transfer increases rapidly with small movements of the pile and at shallower depths reaches a peak at a movement of about 3 mm. Most of the load was carried by shaft friction and even close to failure the load  transmitted to the tip was less than about 20% of the total applied load. The computed elastic settlements agreed well with the observed values for  the initial loading cycles, but at higher loads the residual settlements caused the total settlements to exceed the values obtained from elastic theory. 0aPiling (Civil engineering)xTesting 0aClayxThailandxBangkokxTesting1 aBrenner, R.P., eChairperson1 aBalasubramaniam, A.S., eExamination Committee1 aAkagi, T., eExamination Committee2 aThe Government of New Zealand, eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
