Cross Hole Sonic Pile Test Results Analysis with Case Study

Heavy infrastructure development involving buildings, bridges, towers, dams and other massive structures in majority of the times require deep foundation of piles, which are built using cast in situ techniques predominantly. Sometimes, "necks" or "bulbs" may be created in the process of concreting in situ piles. These defects may affect the bearing capacity of the piles considerably. So the structural evaluation and monitoring of both new and existing piles are becoming increasingly important. This is normally carried out by using cross-hole sonic test. This paper presents a study on the damage mechanics of typical cast in situ piles of 24 numbers through cross hole sonic pile integrity test and it is found that good quality of integrity test results are obtained.
