Also known as dynamic load test or PDA test, it is carried out to check the load capacity, friction, tip resistance, pile integrity, hammer efficiency and check compression and tensile stresses during blows.
The static load test is the only test that directly determines the load vs. displacement curve of the top of the foundation element. When instrumented, it allows the measurement of friction and tip resistance of the pile.
Geotechnical monitoring of works assists the work's Engineering team in the interpretation and analysis of pile driving or excavation controls, enabling the identification of problems, in addition to presenting an estimate of the load capacity of all the piles on the work.
