Webinar on Integrity Testing of Concrete Foundations by Low Strain Dynamic Testing, Cross Hole Sonic Logging and Thermal Integrity Profiling

When: December 15 & 16, 2015

Who should attend:

Geotechnical, structural and construction engineers; testers, researchers and contractors interested in learning more about low strain dynamic foundation testing / pile integrity testing , or PIT),cross hole sonic logging (CSL) and thermal integrity profiling (TIP) techniques.

Lecturer:

Ryan Allin, P.E. is a senior engineer and partner in GRL Engineers and Pile Dynamics. He has a BS in Civil Engineering from Cleveland State University and has achieved Expert level on the PDCA/PDI Dynamic Measurement and Analysis Proficiency Test. After several years performing the entire range of services offered by GRL throughout the United States and in international offshore projects, Ryan is currently responsible for all GRL’s educational programs for foundation testing professionals. In that capacity he has lectured on numerous seminars, webinars and workshops on foundation testing and has co-authored papers on the subject. Ryan is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a registered professional engineer in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Delaware and Kentucky.

PIT/CSL Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of the webinar attendees will be able to:

• Compare and contrast each test method, based on advantages, best use and limitations
• Adequately prepare the foundation and select the equipment for an integrity test by PIT and CSL
• Correctly enter necessary input on test equipment
• Analyze field data with the appropriate software for both PIT and CSL Interpret the severity of flaws and defects pinpointed by the tests

TIP Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of the webinar attendees will be able to:

• Describe the basic principles of integrity evaluation using thermal measurements
• Collect data by various methods
• Evaluate eccentricity of cage alignment in the shaft
• Evaluate the measurements for local defects (in cross section or concrete quality)
• Describe the conversion process of temperature to effective shaft radius
• Recommended the time window for testing after casting concrete
• Compare and contrast the advantages of thermal measurements, conventional Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL) and Gamma-Gamma testing of drilled shafts
