Load versus movement and ultimate capacities of the various types of piles are compared with each other and with calculated expected values. Part I includes the Introduction, Description of Test Sites, Number and Types of Piles and Installation Records, and Description of Test Equipment. See Part II for Test Results and Discussion and for Summary and Conclusions.
