LOW STRAIN INTEGRITY TESTING OF CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE PILES

Low-strain integrity testing is designed to give information about the physical dimensions, continuity and consistency of materials used in piles. This test method covers the procedure for determining the integrity of individual vertical or inclined piles by measuring and analyzing the velocity response of a pile induced by an impact device applied axially to the pile normally at the pile head.

INTEGRITY TESTING OF CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE PILES USING THE CROSS-HOLE SONIC LOGGING TECHNIQUE

The cross-hole sonic integrity testing is one of the most advanced and economical tools for testing the integrity of drilled shafts. Currently, there is no better method for non-destructively identifying any defect in the drilled shafts. The test determines the quality of concrete between pairs of tubes pre-installed in bored piles cast-in-situ concrete piles, or other types of concrete foundations using the Cross-Hole Analyser (CHATM).

HIGH STRAIN DYNAMIC TESTING OF CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE PILES

High-strain dynamic testing is performed by obtaining and analysing records of shaft force and velocity under drop weight impacts for evaluations of pile load carrying capacity, structural integrity, and load-movement and pile-soil load transfer relationship. High-strain dynamic testing is a non-destructive quick test and it is intended that the test pile be left in a condition suitable for use in production.

HIGH STRAIN DYNAMIC TESTING/MONITORING OF STEEL PILES

High-strain dynamic testing is performed by obtaining and analysing records of pile force and velocity under hammer impacts for evaluations of pile load carrying capacity, structural integrity, load-movement, hammer efficiency and pile-soil load transfer relationship. The hammer used could be of different type, such as diesel, hydraulic, mechanical etc.
