What are the limitations of
PIT testing of foundation
piles?
Published on August 14, 2020
PIT testing of foundation piles has the advantages of simple operation,
economy, strong timeliness, and high accuracy, which has been widely
used in foundation pile integrity detection.

However, low strain detection also has the following limitations in
practical applications:
1. It is suitable for testing the integrity of rigid material piles such as
concrete cast-in-place piles. The specification stipulates that the

not be greater than 40m. In practice, it is more difficult to obtain the
whole pile waveform for piles with too large slenderness ratio or long
pile length.
2. When there is a reflected wave that characterizes the defect and the
bottom of the pile, the vibration wave velocity required to calculate the
pile length and defect location cannot be accurately determined, and the
calculated pile length and defect location are deviated from the real
situation.
3. The pile body defects can be judged qualitatively, but it is difficult to
distinguish the specific types of defects (such as poor concrete
cementation, mud, honeycomb, segregation, holes, etc.), making it
difficult to distinguish between segregation and diameter reduction,
severe segregation and broken piles, interlayer and cracks.
4. The severity of the defect is judged based on the relative magnitude
of the reflected wave amplitude at the defect (the larger the relative
amplitude of the defect, the more serious the defect). Especially when
multiple defects are reflected in the waveform, the technicians may be
affected by their own technical level and subjective experience, and
there may be a certain deviation between the judgement results of pile
integrity and the actual situation.
5. Low-strain testing is more accurate in reflecting sudden changes in
the wave impedance of the pile (such as broken piles), but it is difficult
to clearly reflect the gradual change in the wave impedance of the pile
(such as the gradual change of pile diameter) and small defects.

stratum and construction conditions for judgment. When the stratum is
complex and changes greatly, it will interfere with the integrity
judgment.
