    Standardization and Codification of Dynamic Pile Testing A Worldwide Review Jorge Beim —Carl-John Gravare Oswald Klingmuller Li De-Ging PDI Engenharia Pile Dynamics Europe Pile Dynamics Europe Pile Dynamics China Frank Rausche GRL and Associates, inc. SYNOPSIS. Because of their simplicity and economy, dynamic pile tests are conducted on thousands af canstruction sites every year in many different countries. The tests include high strain testing nhien requires that a heavy mass is dropped onto the pile 1op while measurements of force and velocity are made near the pile top. Data interpretation then assesses pearing capacity. pile integny. pile stresses and hammer performance. the latter two items ifthe test is performed curing ple installation. The low strain dynamic tes, typically performed with {small hand-held hammer, also measures velocity and sometimes force and then interprets the data for pile integrity. ‘A third, fequently performed, dynamic testis Cross-Hole Sonic Logging which requires that at least two tubes are installed in a drilled shaft pnor to pouring the concrote and that stress pulses are sent fom one tube to the sther. The arnval time of the pulse at the receiver tube, incicates the quality and integnty ofthe concrete between the tubes Foundation engineers in several countries have now established
