The low-strain impact method is one of the most commonly used non-destructive geophysical methods in pile integrity testing. Data analysis of the low-strain method in the frequency domain allows the researcher to get additional information about the studied foundation. The authors of the article propose a methodology for assessing the contact of piles with soils based on an analysis of the dynamic attributes of the frequency response. Conclusions drawn from using the above-described method can be used by engineers to study piles quality and to plan direct static load tests to determine the bearing capacity of piles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
