Building & Civil Engineering | The process of testing with hydraulic jacks the bearing capacity of pile, footing, brace, shore, or other unit of a structure, and of permanently weighing up its load by the patented pretest method. The distinctive feature of the pretest process is that the full test pressure is maintained while the wedging is being done, thus holding in compression the pile, footing, or shore, and the earth on which it bears, or, in the case of a horizontal brace, the brace itself and the members against which it pushes. This eliminates subsequent settlement. Source: European Union. (references) |

Health | Most testing programs include a neurological examination, pretest counseling, and followup. (references) | |
The purpose of the neurological examination is to determine whether or not the person requesting testing is showing any clinical symptoms of HD. It is important to remember that if an individual is showing even slight symptoms of HD, he or she risks being diagnosed with the disease during the neurological examination, even before the genetic test. During pretest counseling, the individual will learn about HD, and about his or her own level of risk, about the testing procedure. (references) | ||
