Brij Gopal Construction Company had entrusted the work of High-Strain Dynamic ‘Testing of R.C. bored piles installed at Project “Four Lanning of Jind - Gohana Section of NH-352A. The aim of testing was to evaluate pile static capacity and measure settlement under applied load. This report presents the results of dynamic pile testing and analysis using the Pile Driving Analyzer and CAPWAP Program, The test was conducted in accordance with ASTM 4945-00 on 14/03/2023. 2.

Test Equipment A Pile Driving Analyzer™ and its associated pile top force and velocity transducers were used to conduct the dynamic pile test. ‘Two strain transducers and two accelerometers were attached to the pile head. They were mounted ‘on opposite sides of the pile to cancel bending effects during each strike of the hammer. The signals of strain and acceleration were conditioned and processed by PDA. ‘The PDA is a micro-processor-based signal conditioner and digital computer. Signals of pile top force and velocity were measured and analyzed during each strike of the pile driving hammer and stored in the Analyzer. The pile top force and velocity —time curves were displayed on laptop computer screen. Real time analogue mnals of the pile top force and velocity were also recorded using the PDA and later stored in the field computer unit. The PDA onsite uses a program based on closed form Case-Goble solutions to compute static is subsequently checked with the computer program CAPWAP to confirm the static pile capacity obtained on site. pile capacity from the pile top force and velocity data. Thi 4. PDA Field Testing Dynamic testing on the pile was conducted by striking the pile with hammer for several blows during the restriking process. During testing of the pile, complete dynamic measurements were obtained for each hammer blow delivered to the pile. ‘The PDA measures the total (static plus dynamic) resistance acting on the pile. The portion of total tes ance that is computed as static resistance by the analyzer is determined by the soil damping factor Je set into the analyzer. A more accurate independent measure of the applicable soil-damping factor was determined using a CAPWAP analysis. The values measured by the PDA on field are obtained assuming that the Pile is uniform throughout its length. Also, the soil parameters like quake and damping should be assumed during the field test. Hence the CAPWAP is mandatory for all bored piles to estimate realis soil parameters as well as pile profile. On field, PDA measures the field capacity while CAPWAP refines the field the field results and hence field capacities measured using PDA may not match with the CAPWAP analysis. Hitya%s Nitya Laboratories et or culty ‘The BETA value (Integrity Factor) indicates the pile impedance and is derived from the CAPWAP analysis. The PDA is basically used to compute capacity and the BETA factor. Particularly for bored piles may never be 100% due to inherentof installation. A BETA factor less than 60% indicates a shaft with poor integrity.Such shaft may require remedial action in the form of reduced loads, redesi ingthe cap or installation of additional pile as recommended by the design engineer. [ Integrity (BETA Factor) | Comment — 100% OK 80% - 99% Minor Defect 60% = 80% ‘Some Defect I <60% Major Defect ‘The PDA field capacity is estimated by either RMX or RSU for an assumed Je value and ‘on the assumption of uniform cross ~ section of the pile. RMX is the maximum Case — Goble Resistance (Maximum Capacity) for the assume Je value (Case Damping) at the project site. The RMX capacity generally holds good when the pile shows a reasonable movement under the load. The RSU capacity is applicable when there is very high skin friction and in most cases the pile movement is normal. Hence a more real estimate of the pile capacity is obtained from the CAPWAP analysis conducted on one typical blow at the end of testing program, 5. CAPWAP Analysis A selected PDA field recording of forces and velocity data for a blow delivered tothe piles was further analyzed using the CAPWAP (Case Pile Wave Analysis Program) computer software. ‘The analysis involved applying the measured pile top velocity time record to the top of a lumped- mass and spring wave equation model of the pile. ‘The program computes the pile top force-time record and this is then compared to the actual measured force- time record. The pile and soil resistance model are then adjusted in an iterative procedure until good match is obtained between measured and computed forces. The pile and soil models can then be used to determine the estimated static load- settlement curve. ‘The CAPWAP capacities are ultimate values. They must be reduced by means of an appropriate factor of safety to yield a design or workingload. The results of CAPWAP analysis for a typical blow is briefly summarized in Annexure-A. Hlitya®s Nitya Laboratories ik foray 6. Results ‘The CAPWAP analysis results showed that pile had achieved of First Drop 1.0 Load achieved 489 tons at the time of testing. The capacity is applicable at the time of testing and further soil strength changes with time had to be considered. The CAPWAP results showed that the maximum compressive stress experiencedby the pile at the hammer impact was about 4.5 N/mm?. This stress is within allowable i was observed to be OK. its. The From CAPWAP analysis, the pile top load vs. settlement curve is obtained by simulating stati load test. The pile top settlement at 555 Tons (equivalent test load for static test) is estimated to be around 3 mm. Please refer to st jc analysis in Annexure A. 7. Conclusion 1. The CAPWAP analysis results for Pile showed that it had achieved an activated capacity of 555.0 Tons at the time of testing which is more thanthe required Test Load of 420.0 Tons. 2. The stresses in the pile were within the acceptable limits during any stage of testing. 3. The pi integrity was observed OK. 4, This report has been prepared as per guidelines given in ASTM D4945.
