A rigorous numerical evaluation of the dynamic monitoring data from an individual hammer blow to estimate static pile capacity, relative soil resistance distribution, pile stresses, and dynamic soil properties, using pile and soil models (more-comprehensive than dynamic method of analysis). Also referred to as wave matching. Performed with software such as CAPWAP and AllWave-DLT.
Pile Driving Analysis
See Dynamic Load Test and Dynamic Pile Monitoring. Also referred to as PDA, but not the same as the equipment named Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) used in dynamic pile monitoring and dynamic load testing.
