To obtain data having high reliability required for determining bearing
capacity of the pile in a short time and economically, a pseudostatic
pile load testing method comprises processes that a drop height of a
heavy weight (2) dropped on a pile head of a pile (1) is changed higher
step by step, the heavy weight (2) is dropped from each of the heights, a
time change of an acceleration of the pile head by that impact is
determined by an accelerometer (4) installed at the pile head, and a
displacement of the pile head is determined as an integrated value of the
acceleration determined by the accelerometer (4).
