Abstract: Due to the remote location, there are difficulties in the transmission line project using the traditional pile static load bearing capacity test, the self-balanced static load test can solve the problem of limited the condition of the site or limited tonnage, which is simple and rapid economic, and has been applied in a variety of pile types, especially the pile with large diameter and large tonnage. In this paper, two typical test examples of transmission line engineering were selected, combined with the characteristics of the industry on the self-balanced static load test which was summarized and discussed, two kinds of common type of pile performed well, which can provide a reference for future in transmission line engineering detection.
