• Abstract:
  Monitoring installation of driven pile foundations ; is critically important to ensure adequate safety ; of structures with piles, such as the many bridges ; which are maintained by the Florida Department ; of Transportation (FDOT). Dynamic load testing ; of driven piles is currently the method preferred ; by industry because it is cost effective and ; reliable for assessing static capacity. Prior to ; the use of the Embedded Data Collector system ; (EDC) in construction, dynamic load testing was ; accomplished using the pile driving analyzer ; (PDA), coupled with CAPWAP (Case Pile Wave ; Analysis) and wave equation analysis. This method ; involves external gauges fixed to the top of the ; pile, from which stresses and capacity vs. depth ; are computed using the Case capacity equation ; with the Case lumped damping parameter.
