High Strain Dynamic Foundation Testing Workshop

Description:

Who should attend:

• Users of the Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) system and CAPWAP software interested in sharpening their skills.
• Engineers, foundation testing professionals, students and professors already familiar with the basic concepts of deep foundation dynamic testing and analysis.
• Professionals who desire to have a basic understanding of the dynamic test results being presented to them.
• Those interested in taking the Dynamic Measurement and Analysis Proficiency Test

Learning objectives:
At the end of this two day workshop attendees will be able to:

• Operate the PDA in a manner conducive to acquiring good quality data
• Assess pile bearing capacity, pile driving stresses, hammer performance and pile integrity by various methods
• Avoid pitfalls when analyzing PDA data with the CAPWAP software
• Interpret PDA testing and CAPWAP software results
• Describe the soil-model used in CAPWAP
• Prepare the input for CAPWAP
• Review options for CAPWAP analysis and output
• Calculate bearing capacity and its distribution for driven piles from impact records

At the end of the High Strain Dynamic Testing Workshop participants may take a multiple choice Dynamic Measurement and Analysis Proficiency Test which will take less than 1-½ hours to complete. The test will cover the theory of Wave Mechanics, Case Method (PDA) equations, data quality assessment, data interpretation and basic CAPWAP analysis.
