Pile Integrity Testing
IS 14893:2001 & ASTM D5882.
A method of qualitative evaluation of the physical dimensions (cross sectional variation), soundness or defects of the piles concrete with respect to its continuity.
Pile Integrity tests were performed using the most advanced ZBL-P8000 Pile Dynamic Detector system available to estimate pile integrity by surface impact methods. It is a kind of digital and portable dynamic detector using the low strain reflected wave method to test the integrity of concrete pile.
The integrity testing method separates the effect of impact and surface reflections from other relevant reflection (i.e. Pile toe or other discontinuities) by averaging records of several impacts.
Objectives of the Test -
- Evaluate unknown length of piles, or elements.
- Evaluate pile cross-sectional area and length.
- Determining the integrity and continuity of piles
- Evaluate consistency of pile material.
