Seminar on Deep Foundation Integrity Testing and Wave Equation Analysis & High Strain Dynamic Foundation Testing Workshop

When: March, 9th-11th, 2016

March 9th, 2015 - Seminar on Deep Foundation Integrity Testing and Wave Equation Analysis

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 Semina

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.

March 10th-11th, 2015 - High Strain Dynamic Foundation Testing Workshop

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
