Abstract: As a new insitu static load test method, the Selfbalanced load test technique has received a wider recognition and is applied in different construction projects. However, there are still unresolved problems exist in its practical applications due to the lack of a clear theoretical approach of its loading mechanism. The testing procedures and the results of the Selfbalanced Load Test in a large project are summarized in this paper.
