“…Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the integrity and quality of pile foundations and thus ensure the safety of supported superstructures. To detect the integrity of reinforced concrete (RC) piles, a variety of non-destructive testing techniques have been proposed successively, such as the low-strain pile integrity test (PIT) [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], sonic cross-hole logging (SCL) [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ] and the parallel seismic (PS) method [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. The existence of potential pile defects and unknown pile lengths can be detected by one method or a combination of multiple methods.…”
