What is Sonic Integrity Testing for Piles about?
Sonic integrity testing involves striking a pile head with a hammer while recording the movement with an accelerometer. This provides a quick and inexpensive way to identify major defects in piles. The test output is a graph of velocity over time, showing reflections from the pile toe and any discontinuities. It can detect defects like cracks and bulges but not minor issues or changes in soil properties. While useful for quality assurance, it cannot determine bearing capacity.
