  2. Crosshole sonic logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosshole_sonic_logging

    Crosshole sonic logging (CSL) is a method to determine the structural integrity of drilled shafts and other concrete piles. The CSL method is considered to be more accurate than sonic echo testing in the determination of structural soundness of concrete within the drilled shaft inside of the rebar cage. This method provides little indication of ...

  3. Pile integrity test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile_integrity_test

    Pile integrity testing using low-strain tests such as the TDR (Transient Dynamic Response) method, is a rapid way of assessing the continuity and integrity of concrete piled foundations. The test measures: pile length, or depth to anomalies; pile head stiffness; pile shaft mobility, which is dependent on pile section and concrete properties

  4. Rotary-pressure sounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary-pressure_sounding

    Symbol used in drawings. Rotary-pressure sounding is a method of testing soil conditions that might be performed as part of a geotechnical investigation.A series of rods, with a specially designed tip, is forced into the ground under downward pressure.

  5. Wave equation analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_equation_analysis

    The soil response for each pile segment is modeled as viscoelastic-plastic. The method was first developed in the 1950s by E.A. Smith of the Raymond Pile Driving Company. Wave equation analysis of piles has seen many improvements since the 1950s such as including a thermodynamic diesel hammer model and residual stress. Commercial software ...

  6. Total sounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_sounding

    Symbol used in drawings. Total sounding (TS) is a sounding method performed as part of geotechnical investigation.The sounding combines conventional rotary-pressure sounding with bedrock drilling, including rotation, ramming and flushing modes.

  7. Thermal integrity profiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_integrity_profiling

    Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP) is a non-destructive testing method used to evaluate the integrity of concrete foundations. It is standardized by ASTM D7949 - Standard Test Methods for Thermal Integrity Profiling of Concrete Deep Foundations. The testing method was first developed in the mid 1990s at the University of South Florida.

  9. Dynamic load testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_load_testing

    Dynamic load testing (or dynamic loading) is a method to assess a pile's bearing capacity by applying a dynamic load to the pile head (a falling mass) while recording acceleration and strain on the pile head. Dynamic load testing is a high strain dynamic test which can be applied after pile installation for concrete piles. For steel or timber ...
