Reasonable and practical applications of dynamic methods for determination of pile capacity.

What is it about?

Verification of dynamic pile testing with static load test does not always guarantee the pile ability to withstand design loads. It is not reasonable to connect pile testing at any construction site with determination of the ultimate pile capacity because the major goal of pile testing at sites is verification of the pile capability to withstand design loads. It is necessary to experimentally verify the pile capacity to withstand the design load with an appropriate factor of safety and check applicability of signal matching software for specified sites. Dynamic methods provide a sensible and beneficial approach for verification of pile capacity necessary for the withstanding of design loads applied to piles.

Why is it important?

Our findings show how to use advantages of dynamic methods in saving the cost and the time in pile testing. It is important because dynamic methods are irreplaceable tools for testing of numerous piles at construction sites and in offshore piling.
