Deep Foundation Integrity Testing and Wave Equation Analysis

When: February 25, 2015

Who should attend:

Geotechnical, structural and construction engineers; owners, contractors and other professionals involved in the design, construction and specification of deep foundations.

• This seminar is suitable for those new to the field of Foundation Testing and Analysis, and includes an overview of non-destructive testing methods (integrity and load testing) and their applications.
• It is suitable also for those specifying the testing to gain basic understanding for assessing the results presented in reports.
• This seminar is suitable for those needing an understanding of wave equation analysis methods.
• Those attending the Workshop that follows this Seminar are strongly encouraged to attend this review of wave equation background materials.

Learning objectives:

At the end of the seminar, attendees will be able to:

• Select an appropriate method of integrity assessment of deep foundations for a particular application.
• Review reports of integrity and dynamic load testing of deep foundations conducted by others.
• Run a basic wave equation analysis of pile driving.
