In the case of bi-directional high pressure pile load test with double-acting jack, the shortcomings of bi-directional pile load test with single-acting jack could be solved, low-cost of test could be sure, the limits of loading capacity could be overcome and quality assurance of service plie could be confirmed. In this study, to confirm the stability, the reliability and the application of bi-directional high pressure pile load test with double-acting jack, the calibration test for high pressure oil jacks, the length of high pressure hose and tunable high pressure pipe system were performed. As a result, credibility was very high because the reliability of test results was approached at about 1.0.
