DYNAMIC TESTS ON PILES PILE INTEGRITY TEST Fondation piles are generally controLLed through static Load tests in order to get their bearing capacity by measuring the pile settlement due to the static Load being applied. This kind of test allows to analysis the response of the pile-soil system over a wide range of deformation that can reach the collapse conditions. The need to reduce testing time and costs has brought to the diffusion of a number of different non destructive • dynamic pile test Sonic integrity, instrumented hammer and mechanical admittance methods may be classified among low strain dynamic tests and they enable to verify the shape and the length of the pile as well as any defect. "Case" testing instead is a high strain dynamic method which gives indication of the pile limit load. * Specifications and standards subject to changes without prior notice. sistemi integrati per la diagnostica e il monitoraggio Boviars.r.l. www.boviar.biz
