Quality Assurance and Testing Techniques for Driven Piles

When: February 23, 2015

Who should attend:

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

• This seminar is suitable for those wanting an understanding of wave equation analysis methods. Registered attendees will be able to download a demonstration version of the GRLWEAP software on their notebook computers prior to the workshop.
• This seminar is suitable for those new to the field of dynamic Pile Testing and Analysis, and includes an overview of the high-strain dynamic testing method and its applications.
• It is suitable also for those specifying the testing to gain basic understanding for assessing the results presented in reports.

Learning objectives:

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

• Run a basic wave equation analysis of pile driving.
• Gain an understanding of high-strain dynamic testing and CAPWAP software analysis methods.
• Review reports of wave equation analysis and high-strain dynamic testing of driven piles conducted by others.

Seminar Lecturers:

- Marty Bixler, P.E., the Seattle, WA office manager of GRL Engineers, Inc.

- Patrick Hannigan, P.E., the President of GRL Engineers, Inc.
