A static lateral (transverse) load-deflection test applied directly to a deepfoundation element or group, per ASTM D3966/D3966M or the French standard NFP94-151. It uses the same reaction system and load-increment schedule as an axialload test, so referenceSystem, maxTestLoad and increment (diggs:LoadTestIncrement)apply unchanged. ASTM D3966/D3966M names eight loading procedures (standard loading,excess loading, cyclic loading, surge loading, reverse loading, reciprocal loading,specified lateral movement, combined loading); the vocabulary of loadingProcedurecarries all eight. No EN ISO 22477 part covers this scope. Cite whichever standardgoverns through the inherited testProcedureMethod. A single pile and a group are notdistinguished by a field: ASTM D3966/D3966M covers both, and the number ofdiggs:RIColumn features that Test/samplingFeatureRef cites shows which. The measuredlateral deflection is a result: give it on the ResultSet of Test/outcome with theproperty lateral_deflection from properties.xml (the property settlement is verticalonly).
Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to beunique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object inthe form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods. This is doneby concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the idattribute.
