Pile Integrity Test: Knowledge And Methods To Perform The Test: Ndt Pile Testing Methods

By ARIF IQBAL and G K Singh

Every man-made structure is supported on foundations.

Dynamic development of pile technologies, observed in recent years, presents a serious challenge for the participants of the construction process: it is inevitable to ensure quality control of running works or acceptance investigation of piles and columns made in new, and often not yet described by any standards, technologies.

And Pile Integrity Test refers to a qualitative evaluation of the physical dimensions, continuity of a pile, and consistency of the pile material. The discipline of pile integrity testing, born in Europe in the 1960s, uses non-destructive testing technologies to expose those defects before they can cause any damage. Several methods have been developed over the past few decades in order to evaluate the integrity of piles and all are inside this book.

It presents the testing methods available to clients, civil engineers, and contractors. Each method is explained in detail with its theoretical background, the hardware and software used, and the analysis of the test results. Each chapter concludes with a brief evaluation of the advantages and drawbacks of the method. Pile integrity testing is an exciting evolving branch of civil engineering and this book will be modified and re-written to cover new developments.
