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
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.
High strain dynamic testing is a method of testing deep foundations to obtain information about their capacity and integrity, and in some cases, to monitor their installation. It is codified by ASTM D4945-12 - Standard Test Method for High-Strain Dynamic Testing of Piles.
A magnitude 6.2 earthquake rattled a region of southwest Mexico on Sunday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. The tremor was about five miles ...
Houston's D'Angelo Ross returned a blocked extra point for two points in the fourth quarter of the Texans' wild-card playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers Saturday. The rare play came ...
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 ...
Bill Byrge, an actor who appeared in many of the “Ernest” comedy films as “Bobby,” died on Thursday at the age of 92 in Nashville, Tenn. Byrge’s cousin, Sharon Chapman, confirmed his ...
Foundation integrity testing is the non-destructive testing of piled foundations.It was first used in the late 1960s, and has been developed over time by many companies. Three organizations supply a majority of the test equipment in use: CEBTP (Centre Expérimental de Recherches et d'Etudes du Bâtiment et des Travaux Publics) in Europe; Integrity Testing in Asia and Australia: and by GRL ...
