Date 2010-06-29 Abstract Pile testing, which plays an importance role in the field of deep foundation design, is performed by static and non-static methods to provide information about the following issues: (Poulos, 1998) - The ultimate capacity of a single pile. - The load-displacement behavior of a pile. - The performance of a pile during the test conditions. - The integrity of a pile (pile integrity test). For the purposes of verification the design axial capacity and the static load – settlement behavior of piles, the static pile load test has long been considered as the most reliable method but because of its high cost and time consuming, non – static pile load tests are looked as efficient substitutions. The two non – static testing methods, i.e. dynamic and quasi – static pile load test are objects of this report. The non – static pile load tests are performed by means of exerting an impact force on the pile head while measuring and recording the responses of the pile, from which the test results are determined. Duration of the impact force (T), longitudinal wave velocity of tested pile (c) and pile length (L) are used as key factors to classify the testing methods.
