A comparison between static load test and high strain dynamic test on bored piles

Piles are both statically and dynamically tested to obtain the capacity and to verify design. Both the test will provide results that may vary base on the method applied in conducting the test. It is therefore, necessary to compare the results of a static load test with dynamic load test. Many compa...
