    Rolly Marc G. Sotelo
    This document provides a method statement for performing pile dynamic testing using a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) system on bored piles. It outlines the following key points: 1. Dynamic pile testing involves impacting the pile head with a drop weight and measuring the force and velocity response with transducers attached to the pile. 2. Preparing the pile for testing includes excavating around the pile, protecting the pile head, attaching transducers, and connecting cables to the PDA system. 3. Testing is performed by dropping a weight onto the pile head while the PDA collects and analyzes force and velocity data to evaluate pile capacity, integrity, stresses, and hammer performance.

    1. Purpose

    The purpose of this method statement is to define how dynamic pile testing and instrumentation will be
    performed using the PDA system on the tested pile.

    2. Scope

    Print Date: 05/Jun/2020


     This procedure covers all Measurements of the force and velocity waves induced in the pile during pile
    testing are collected by force and acceleration transducers, which are fixed near the pile head.

    3. Responsibilities

    It is the responsibility of the Project Manager and concerned Site personnel to ensure that all activities are
    performed in compliance with this Procedure and applicable Contract Specifications. On projects where
    designated QC Engineers are not available, the Site Engineer will be responsible for performing the duties of the
    QC Engineer.

    4. Method of Application

    Dynamic pile testing can be conducted on bored piles by means of a heavy impact at the pile head.
    The impact is often provided by a suitable drop weight and the response is measured in terms of force and
    acceleration close to the pile head.

    For testing, the pile may require some excavation prior to the field-testing. The exposed length of pile have to be
    at least 1.5 diameters of the pile or 1.0m whichever is greater above the penetration level for pile
    instrumentation.

    The pile head will be protected for the impact by means of steel casing, which is used to build up the pile.

    A guide frame will be positioned onto the pile. The frame is used to guide the drop weight under the fall.

    A steel plate of about 50mm is placed on top of the pile head so as to protect the pile head from damage under
    the hammer fall.

    3 nos. of 6mm diameter holes are drilled on two opposite sides of the pile for attachment of gauges at 1.5
    diameters below the pile top. Two pairs of force transducer and accelerometer are bolted onto the pile using wall
    plugs.

    During testing, the transducers will be connected to the Pile Driving Analyzer and its associated storage
    computer equipment via a main 19-wire cable (up to 50m long).

    The client will supply and operate the piling hammer to induce a driving force onto the pile.
    The drop weight is positioned and drop onto the pile under controlled height. Dynamic measurement of force
    and velocity will be collected by gauges attached to the pile. This data will be processed by the PDA to give
    immediate visual and permanent record onsite.

    Each blow monitored by the PDA will be displayed on the built-in LCD screen/ oscilloscope in the form of force
    and velocity traces for immediate data quality control and computation. The PDA will also provide onsite results
    such as: -
    a.       Mobilized static load capacity based on the CASE method
    b.      Pile Integrity – location and extent of damage
    c.       Pile Stresses – maximum compression forces at pile top/ toe
    d.      Hammer Performance – maximum energy transferred to the pile

    The transducers and accelerometers will be dismantled at the end of the testing. PDA data will be transferred
    and stored in a disk for subsequent report and analysis.

    The above procedure will be repeated for the next pile test.

    A survey of the pile top is taken before and after the testing to obtain the permanent set per blow. The client is
    also to provide the bore log information and pile construction record for the test pile.
