Static Load Testing (SLT)
Static Load Testing (SLT) is used to evaluate the behavior of deep foundations prior to structure construction and tests the foundation’s axial compression or tension behavior or its deflected shape under a lateral load. GRL Engineers has been performing static load tests for years. The SLT System consists of a Data Acquisition Box placed close to the pile being tested. The box has twelve analog and four digital inputs. Frequently, additional boxes are “daisy chained” together if more channels are needed, such as for a multitude of embedded strain gages. Each Data Acquisition Box is powered by a Ni-MH battery that lasts more than 24 hours, or by any available 110/220 V AC source. The system uses PDI’s proven Smart Gage plug and play technology to automatically detect the sensor’s type and calibration factor, which makes it much easier and quicker to set up the system in the field saving many hours of setup time.
