2. Static load testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_load_testing

   Static load testing is an in situ type of load testing used in geotechnical investigation to determine the bearing capacity of deep foundations prior to the construction of a building. It differs from the statnamic load test and dynamic load testing in that the pressure applied to the pile is slower.

3. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

   The capstan equation [1] or belt friction equation, also known as Euler–Eytelwein formula [2] (after Leonhard Euler and Johann Albert Eytelwein), [3] relates the hold-force to the load-force if a flexible line is wound around a cylinder (a bollard, a winch or a capstan).

4. Mechanical load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_load

   Mechanical load is the physical stress on a mechanical system or component [1] leading to strain. Loads can be static or dynamic. Some loads are specified as part of the design criteria of a mechanical system. Depending on the usage, some mechanical loads can be measured by an appropriate test method in a laboratory or in the field.

5. Compact tension specimen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_tension_specimen

   The stress intensity factor at the crack tip of a compact tension specimen is [4] = [() / / + / / + /] where is the applied load, is the thickness of the specimen, is the crack length, and is the effective width of the specimen being the distance between the centreline of the holes and the backface of the coupon.

6. Factor of safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_of_safety

   In engineering, a factor of safety (FoS) or safety factor (SF) expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.Safety factors are often calculated using detailed analysis because comprehensive testing is impractical on many projects, such as bridges and buildings, but the structure's ability to carry a load must be determined to a reasonable accuracy.

7. Dynamic load testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_load_testing

   Dynamic load testing (or dynamic loading) is a method to assess a pile's bearing capacity by applying a dynamic load to the pile head (a falling mass) while recording acceleration and strain on the pile head. Dynamic load testing is a high strain dynamic test which can be applied after pile installation for concrete piles. For steel or timber ...

9. Ultimate load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_load

   In engineering, the ultimate load [1] is a statistical figure used in calculations, and should (hopefully) never actually occur.. Strength requirements are specified in terms of limit loads (the maximum loads to be expected in service) and ultimate loads (limit loads multiplied by prescribed factors of safety).
