What it is
Pull-out Testing
Pull-out testing is a geotechnical test used to assess the tensile capacity of anchoring elements in engineering structures.
The procedure verifies the performance of anchors, stays, soil nails and piles subject to tensile forces, checking compliance with design conditions and applicable technical standards.
The test applies progressive tensile loads while continuously monitoring displacements to determine actual pull-out capacity and the system's response under loading.
How we perform
Test steps
- 1
Preparation and reaction system
We prepare the anchor or soil nail head and install the reaction system, providing stability with a steel tripod or beams supported on the ground.
- 2
Instrument installation
We position the displacement gauges or dial gauges and take the initial reference reading.
- 3
Load application
The tensile load is applied progressively by a hydraulic system, following the project specifications.
- 4
Field monitoring
At each load stage, displacements are monitored until stabilization, with continuous records of the anchor behavior.
- 5
Analysis and unloading
After reaching the final load, results are evaluated and the system is unloaded to verify performance and acceptance criteria.
