This report contains the results of a short term study of a pile in tension loads. The piles tested were driven on the Louisiana Department of Highways' property in response to a preceeding research work entitled 'Stability of Slender Prestressed Concrete Piling' by Professor H. Turner of Louisiana State University. The 'tension' pile question was raised when a depressed roadway to be built in the city of New Orleans where the water table is at or very near the surface was conceived. Piles were to be used to 'hold down' this expressway. So little information was available on the subject of tension piles, the idea was discarded. Since the piles, driven for the previous study, were available on the Department's property, it was decided to place one in tension to see what would happen. Four piles were driven; three were used in the study. Two were reaction piles, and one was the test pile. It was placed in a tension load of 40 tons for a period of six months. Forty tons was approximately one fourth of the total bearing load computed from the pile driving formula. There was no movement. (BPR abstract)
