Dynamic
Load Testing is conducted independent of pile installation
process. The test has primary goal of assesment of bearing capacity
. It is applicable to drilled shafts, continious flight auger,
Cast-in-situ and driven piles |
|
| |
|
| Dynamic Pile Monitoring
is conducted during the impact driving of steel, concrete or timber
piles to contribute to safe and economical pile installation. Most
important results of this test are soil resistance to driving, hammer
performance, dynamic pile stresses during driving and pile integrity. |
