Dynamic load testing is a high strain dynamic test which can be applied after pile installation for concrete piles. For steel or timber piles, dynamic load testing can be done during installation or after installation. The procedure is standardized by ASTM D4945-00 Standard Test Method for High Strain Dynamic Testing of Piles.
Segmented load plates adapt to the shape of the pavement to more evenly distribute the load on uneven surfaces. The load plate diameter is typically 300 mm diameter on roads and 450 mm on airports, and the load for road testing is about 40 kN, producing about 567 kPa pressure under the load plate (50 kN / 707 kPa according to European standard).
The Statnamic load test is a type of test for assessing the load-carrying capacity of deep foundations which is faster and less expensive than the static load test.The Statnamic test was conceived in 1985, with the first prototype tests carried out in 1988 through collaboration between Berminghammer Foundation Equipment of Canada and TNO Building Research of the Netherlands.
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.
ASTM F519 is the Standard Test Method for Mechanical Hydrogen Embrittlement Evaluation of Plating/Coating Processes and Service Environments. There are 7 different samples designs and the two most commons tests are (1) the rapid test, the Rising step load testing (RSL) method per ASTM F1624 and (2) the sustained load test, which takes 200 hours ...
ASTM C1161: Standard Test Method for Flexural Strength of Advanced Ceramics at Ambient Temperature; ASTM D6272: Standard Test Method for Flexural Properties of Unreinforced and Reinforced Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materials by Four-Point Bending; ASTM C393: Standard Test Method for Core Shear Properties of Sandwich Constructions by ...
The federal standard for LA abrasion testing was formally adopted by the ASTM in 1937. [10] Decades later, field studies found that the LA test results do not always correlate with reality, thus engineers outside of the United States developed different national standards like the French wet micro-Deval procedure or the British Standard 812.

The specimen is then loaded monotonically. A plot of the load versus the crack opening displacement is used to determine the load at which the crack starts growing. This load is substituted into the above formula to find the fracture toughness . The ASTM D5045-14 [4] and E1290-08 [5] Standards suggests the relation
