From qualitative assessment to quantitative analysis

Perform full quantitative SIT/PIT analyses with confidence

The results of pile integrity testing using SIT or PIT rely on a quantitative interpretation approach. This approach compares individual signals to the Site Characteristic, the site’s ‘signature’. When defects in the pile must be quantified, additional in-depth analyses are required.

Using Allnamics’ advanced quantitative interpretation technique, based on AllWave-SIT simulations, the pile’s impedance can be determined from SIT/PIT signals.

Participants are expected to have prior knowledge of low-strain integrity testing, SIT/PIT methods, and the fundamentals of 1D stress wave behavior. After completing this training, trainees will be able to perform full quantitative analyses with confidence.

During the training you will

  • Revisit the fundamentals of one-dimensional stress wave theory
  • Learn how soil conditions and defects influence SIT/PIT signals
  • Understand the limitations of traditional interpretation methods
  • Recognize the pitfalls of ignoring the Site Characteristic
  • Learn the basics of Signal Matching
  • Work hands-on with the AllWave-SIT software
  • Prepare and present quantitative interpretation reports

Prior knowledge

Prior knowledge of low-strain integrity testing, SIT/PIT methods and the fundamentals of 1D stress wave behavior is expected.
