<p>Based on experience and extrapolation, it is found that the best way to predict pile behavior is to perform a pile loading test. In this study a comparison between the static and dynamic load tests results was made to evaluate the ability of the High Strain ...

Physical testing of rock support for rockbursting conditions has been carried out for over 40 years. A review of this testing shows that it has been mostly component–based, rather than actually testing support systems. Further, it is concluded that none of ...

<p>In recent decade, dynamic load test is increasingly being used for pile load testing. Compare to static pile loading test, dynamic load test offers a considerable savings of time, cost and requires less space. This paper discuss the results of three dynamic ...

A systematic program of testing of different reinforcement systems has been undertaken since 2004. Potentiometers, load cells, accelerometers and high speed video are used to monitor the tests. Software has been developed to analyse the data. The results from ...

A case history of repeated dynamic and static loading tests in Alberta on two pipe piles during dissipation of driving-induced pore pressures is presented together with three reanalyzed published case histories involving similar records.

The paper presents the actual status of the CANMET-MMSL impact-testing apparatus, and summarizes some results of the testing carried out until now. The energy balance of the system, needed to validate measurements done and test results achieved, will be presented ...

Wire mesh has been used for surface ground support in mining since the 1950s. Experimental studies have been conducted throughout the world. The response of the mesh is dependant on the sample size, the boundary restraint systems and the loading conditions. ...

<p>The dynamic and static loading test on instrumented FRP piles conducted in this project demonstrated that these piles can be used as an alternative engineering solution for deep foundations. The engineering analysis of the laboratory and field test results ...

<p>This paper is about rockfall experiments on a forested slope in the French Alps and the analysis of nine recordings of nine impacts causing instantaneous breakage of Abies alba Mill. Trees.</p>
