  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. High strain dynamic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_strain_dynamic_testing

    Dynamic load testing takes a further step in analyzing the data and computing static capacity and resistance distribution. Dynamic pile monitoring takes advantage of the fact that, for driven piles, it is possible to compute the energy delivered to the pile, compression stresses at the pile top and toe and tension stresses along the shaft.

  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. 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 ...

  7. Sonic logging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_logging

    The long-spaced measurements (7.5–13.5 ft) always measures the deeper, unaltered formation velocity and should always be used instead of the shorter offset logs. Discrepancies between seismic data and sonic log data [1] are due to upscaling and anisotropy considerations, which can be handled by using Backus Averaging on sonic log data.

  8. Ultrasonic pulse velocity test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_pulse_velocity_test

    A procedure for ultrasonic testing is outlined in ASTM C597 - 09. [9] In India, till 2018 ultrasonic testing was conducted according to IS 13311-1992.From 2018, procedure and specification for Ultrasonic pulse velocity test is outlined in IS 516 Part 5:Non destructive testing of concrete Section 1:Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Testing. This test ...

  9. Ultrasonic thickness measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_Thickness...

    The ability to gauge thickness measurement without requiring access to both sides of the test piece, offers this technology a multitude of possible applications. Paint thickness gauges, ultrasonic coating thickness gauges, digital thickness gauges and many more options are available to test plastics, glass, ceramics, metal and other materials.
