| Introduction: |
Whenever Profound enters a new
market with its products there are two
questions that are invariably posed:
what is Profound and more importantly
how do you know that their testing
equipment works. In this article we
will address these two questions, albeit
that the second question is only
answered for DLTWAVE, the signal
matching software used to evaluate the
dynamic load results tests for
foundation piles.
The response
regarding DLTWAVE is solely based
on papers that were presented at
international conferences without
Profound’s support or input, because
we felt that this approach would be
more effective than to present our own
test data, and it consists of two parts.
The first part is a comparison with the
outcome of Static Load Tests, the
traditional way of pile testing. The
second part is a comparison with the
only other software widely used for this
purpose, CAPWAP. We trust that by
presenting these data the two questions
are answered conclusively and that
based on these answers DLTWAVE is
considered a reliable tool to analyze the
results of dynamic load tests. |
