Comparing dynamic and static test results of bored piles

Interpreting Strain Measurements from Load Tests in Bored Piles

In static load tests vibrating wire strain gages are generally used. The advantage of vibrating wire sensors over more conventional electrical resistance or semi-conductor types lies mainly in the sensor output, which is a frequency rather than a voltage or resistance. The frequency output is easier to transmit over long cables and is unaffected by voltage drops such as those which can be broug...

static versus dynamic assessment of l2 learners’ reading ability

dynamic assessment according to vygotskys sociocultural theory, states that instruction and assessment are interrelated. using static forms of assessment with second and foreign language students could do more harm than good. many teachers neglect to take account of the complexity involved in learning a second or foreign language and often wonder why learning of a language take so long. thi...

Evaluation of Static and Dynamic Methods for Determining the Bearing Capacity of the Driven Pipe Piles (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Determination of the pile capacity is always a major concern for the safe geotechnical engineering design. Different direct and indirect methods have been proposed for determining pile bearing capacity such as static and dynamic approaches. Each method depends on the condition of the soil and type of pile as well as accessibility to necessary information. In this study bearing capacity of drive...

Dynamic Response of Single Piles Under Lateral Loads and Earthquakes

Is ITC Bored with Board Test?

If you look at the mix of papers published at ITC over the last ten years or so, there does appear to be a large swing away from board test topics and towards more IC-oriented technical papers. Why is that? Could one argue that board test became a solved problem after the introduction of the IEEE 1149.1 standard [1]? Hardly, since that original standard, as useful as it has proven to be, was st...
