About this document
Pile Testing Methods and Prediction Reliability by Nelson Aoki is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses different methods for determining the ultimate resistance of pile foundations, including static loading tests, dynamic tests using hammer impacts, and dynamic increasing energy tests (DIET). It notes that the definition of ultimate resistance is unclear from static and dynamic tests alone. DIET allows investigating the pile-soil system behavior as energy levels increase and can help determine if ultimate resistance corresponds to the lower or upper bound theorems of limit state analys
