Pile dynamic analysis-civil engineering-construction

Pile dynamic analysis:
Pile dynamic analysis verbaly spelt as PDA is conducted on the pile to determine its frictional resistance and pile integrity.

To conduct this test two accelerator and two sensors are drilled and placed on the test pile.these accelerotor and sensor are connceted to a pda analyser which run by software to produce the results.

A hydraulic hammer is placed on the top of test pile,and then blows where given .the accelorator and sensor will record the waves and transmit to the pda analyser.finaly PDA results are obtained in the monitor

Settlement marker-

Settlement markers Settlement markers are the instruments installed in the soil backfill .this will help us to monitor the settlement of compacted soil.it consists of square 1*1m steel plate welded to a hollow pipe section.the hollow pipe will run along the height of the section. The settlement is placed on the first layer of compacted soil.usually soil will be compacted in layers in every 300mm depth.the total height of marker depends on the total depth of soil fill. During installation the verticality of pipes are to be checked using plumb off or bubble instrument.the flatness of bottom plate also need to checked Intially the fore sight,back sight and level of the base plate and top of pipe readings were taken.then this will periodically taken as twice or thrice in a week. The readings are periodically noted and the change in the plate and pipe readings are calculated. Settlement marker Checking pipe verticality
