Webinar on Static Load Testing Instrumentation

At this Pile Dynamics' Webinar instrumentation of compression (both top-loading and bi-directional), tension, and lateral tests will be addressed. Routine, and upgraded, instrumentation installations will be presented as they relate to and accomplish static load testing objectives. Load-transfer determinations will be emphasized. More-direct conversion of measured strains to internal forces in the test foundation using the Incremental Rigidity (“IR”) method will be described.

This session will begin on Tuesday, August 6, 2019, at 9:00 am Eastern Time (New York Time), and will typically last 1.5 hours. The lecturer is  E. Komurka, P.E., D.GE, a senior engineer at GRL. At the conclusion of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Describe the three different types of static load tests
• Explain the major objectives of each test type
• List instrumentation and data acquisition commonly associated with static load testing
• Identify results available from each test typePerform data analysis and present of results
