DYNAMIC LOAD TEST ON DRIVEN PILE (PDA TEST)
This method statement describes the typical dynamic load test on driven pile (PDA Test) procedure. Dynamic pile testing is performed by well-trained and experienced engineers using a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) at site and pile wave analysis will be carried out on the signal acquired by using Case Pile Wave Analysis Program (CAPWAP). Plant and Equipment The plant / equipment to be used for the works shall comprise of the following: § PDI series pile driving analyzer and CAPWAP analysis program to determine the mobilized capacity of a test pile. Pile Driving Analyzer shall comprise; · Pile Driving Analyzer · 2 Strain Transducers · 2 Accelerometers · 1-4 Cable · ...
