Features: This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in geotechnical engineering survey, design, construction, quality supervision and testing, and supervision, especially for quality inspectors specializing in pile quality testing. The book consists of 5 parts and 19 chapters, introducing four major categories and seven types of testing methods, including static load tests (vertical compression, vertical uplift, horizontal), high-strain and low-strain dynamic testing methods (high-strain method, low-strain reflection wave method, and mechanical impedance method), core drilling method, and ultrasonic pulse transmission method. In addition to explaining the applicable scope, instruments and equipment, field testing, and indoor analysis techniques of various methods, the book also covers the basic theories related to testing technology, fundamental knowledge of piles, and new quality testing technologies that are currently under development or improvement. To enhance testing levels and data analysis capabilities, the book provides some typical case studies of successful and unsuccessful examples. The book incorporates experimental and theoretical research findings from scholars at home and abroad in recent years, as well as the author of this book, in the field of pile quality testing. It also supports the promotion and implementation of the newly released and implemented "Technical Specification for Building Pile Testing," providing in-depth explanations of key and challenging issues in the corresponding chapters.
