What is sonic logging tube?

Sonic Logging Tubes are dedicated for crosshole sonic logging test applications. They are specially designed to be encased in foundations such as bored piles,diahragm walls and barrettes to allow for future testing of the concrete integrity by ultrasonic waves.

What is a CSL tube?

CSL tubes are a quality assurance measure used to ensure the structural soundness of drilled shaft foundations. They can also be applied to slurry walls, auger cast piles, mat foundations, and mass concrete pours.

What is CSL testing for drilled shafts?

Crosshole sonic logging (CSL) is a method to determine the structural integrity of drilled shafts and other concrete piles. The CSL method is considered to be more accurate than sonic echo testing in the determination of structural soundness of concrete within the drilled shaft inside of the rebar cage.

What is Sonic pipe?

SIL sonic tubes are Push-fit type CSL tubes are made by thin steel tube, with an enlarge end in a bell mouth shape. Specially designed rubber gasket for the bell mouth ensures quick installation and perfect sealing to keep the tube integrity and avoid the entry of other materials. ADVANTAGES.

What is cross-hole sonic logging test for piles?

Cross-hole sonic logging test is conducted to determine quality of concrete for deep pile and identifies the defect location based on ultrasonic pulse velocity. Generally unit skin friction can be determined CSL and strain captured during O-Cell pile load test.

What is the purpose of sonic logging test?

A CSL is also known as sonic logging or logging test. The test helps to detect anomalies inside the concrete within a few minutes. Crosshole tomography (CT) is conducted to define the size, shape, severity, and location of the defects that are determined by the CSL test and is performed after it.

What is cross hole sonic logging test?

What does sonic log measure?

The sonic or acoustic log measures the travel time of an elastic wave through the formation. This information can also be used to derive the velocity of elastic waves through the formation. Its main use is to provide information to support and calibrate seismic data and to derive the porosity of a formation.

What is CSL test?

Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL) is one of the most accurate pile integrity tests to determine the integrity of deep foundation elements. CSL sends ultrasonic pulses through the concrete from one probe to another probe present in a pile and detects the structural integrity based on the received waves.

What is Sonic test for piles?

What is PDA test pile?

Dynamic load testing using Pile Driving Analyser (PDA) equipment is a high-strain non-destructive load test method which can be performed during or after pile installation using conventional pile driving equipment. This test can be applied to driven steel, driven timber and even concrete piles (eg.
