36、 or displacement transducers, this This testmethod obtains the force and velocity induced in a pile during an axial impact event (see Figs. 1 and 2). Force and velocity aretypically derived from measured strain and acceleration. The Engineer may analyze the acquired data using engineering principles
37、and judgment to evaluate the integrity of the pile, the performance of the impact system, and the maximum compressive and tensilestresses occurring in the pile.4.2 If sufficient axial movement occurs during the impact event, and after assessing the resulting dynamic soil response alongthe side and b
38、ottom of the pile, the Engineer may analyze the results of a high-strain dynamic test to estimate the ultimate axialstatic compression capacity (see Note 1). Factors that may affect the axial static capacity estimated from dynamic tests include,but are not limited to the: (1) pile installation equip
39、ment and procedures, (2) elapsed time since initial installation, (3) pile materialproperties and dimensions, (4) type, density, strength, stratification, and saturation of the soil, or rock, or both adjacent to andbeneath the pile, (5) quality or type of dynamic test data, (6) foundation settlement
40、, (7) analysis method, and (8) engineeringjudgment and experience. If the Engineer does not have adequate previous experience with these factors, and with the analysis ofFIG. 1 Typical Force and Velocity Traces Generated by the Apparatus for Obtaining Dynamic MeasurementsD4945 173dynamic test data,
41、then a static load test carried out according to Test Method D1143/D1143M should be used to verify estimatesof static capacity and its distribution along the pile length. Test Method D1143/D1143M provides a direct and more reliablemeasurement of static capacity.(1) pile installation equipment and pr

44、 andits distribution along the pile length. Test Method D1143/D1143M provides a direct and more reliable measurement of staticcapacity.NOTE 1The analysis of a dynamic test will under predict the ultimate axial static compression capacity if the pile movement during the impact eventis too small. The
45、Engineer should determine how the size and shape of the pile, and the properties of the soil or rock beneath and adjacent to the pile,affect the amount of movement required to fully mobilize the static capacity. A permanent net penetration of as little as 2 mm per impact may indicatethat sufficient
46、movement has occurred during the impact event to fully mobilize the capacity. However, high displacement driven piles may require greatermovement to avoid under predicting the static capacity, and cast-in-place piles often require a larger cumulative permanent net penetration for a seriesof test blo
47、ws to fully mobilize the capacity. Static capacity may also decrease or increase over time after the pile installation, and both static and dynamictests represent the capacity at the time of the respective test. Correlations between measured ultimate axial static compression capacity and dynamic tes
48、testimates generally improve when using dynamic restrike tests that account for soil strength changes with time (see 6.8).NOTE 2Although interpretation of the dynamic test analysis may provide an estimate of the piles tension (uplift) capacity, users of this standard arecautioned to interpret conser
49、vatively the side resistance estimated from analysis of a single dynamic measurement location, and to avoid tension capacityestimates altogether for piles with less than 10 m embedded length. (Additional transducers embedded near the pile toe may also help improve tensioncapacity estimates.) If the Engineer does not have adequate previous experience for the specific site and pile type with the analysis of dynamic test datafor tension capacity, then a static load test carried out according to Test Method D3689 should be used to verify tension ca
