To study the behavior of a pile foundation subjected to cyclic axial loading, an instrumented pile was developed and centrifuge tests were undertaken. The pile was designed to be installed in flight by jacking and could provide the skin friction and the tip resistance of the pile during installation, monotonic and cyclic loading. Tension and compression monotonic tests were performed to validate the proposed experi-mental procedure. Pile response under cyclic loading show typical global response. In addition, some relevant features related to local responses of the pile in terms of load distribution and cumulative displacement.
