  1. Dynamic Testing Paul Woodfield for Mike Turner Applied Geotechnical Engineering, Ltd.

  2. Mike Turner’s thoughts on issue for discussion at IWM 2003 • Accuracy is good when comparisons are made with static tests • Not everyone agrees • Costs are 10 to 15% of a static test and will continue to gain favour

  3. Based on recent micropile projects monitored by Applied Geotechnical (rock socketed/ overburden depths up to 20 m), elastic settlements have been greater than “theoretical predictions” • Care needed to ensure elastic deflections do not undermine serviceability of pile
