Thermal Integrity Profiling (TIP) helps in evaluating the entire cross-section and the entire length of the deep foundation element by measuring the heat generated by curing of concrete to assess the quality of bored piles.
The TIP™ conforms to ASTM Standard D7949 – Standard Test Methods for Thermal Integrity Profiling of Concrete Deep Foundations.
The advantages of this method is that,
- Evaluates concrete quality inside and outside the reinforcing cage
- Accelerates construction with tests conducted during concrete curing
- Reveals necking or inclusions, bulges, variations in concrete cover, shape of shaft and cage alignment
- Thermal Wire Cables can replace access tubes
- Thermal Aggregator Units (TAG) allow for real-time data review via the Cloud
Bidirectional Pile Load Test
The objective of the Bidirectional pile load test is to establish load-settlement relationships and ultimate capacity of the test pile. The YJACK360 test will be carried out when the test pile is obtaining the required concrete strength and bearing capacity, subjected to engineer approval. The testing SOP follows a conventional top-loaded pile load test (kentledge or anchors), except no reaction system is available above the pile head.
The YJACK360 bi-directional pile load test (BDPLT/YJACK360) will be carried out in accordance to US ASTM/D8169-2018 (Bi-Directional Static Axial Compressive Load Test of Piles).
The YJACK360 cell system shall be fabricated based on the project requirements such as,
- Pile size
- Pile type
- Working load (WL)
- Test Load ('n' times of WL)
