1. Dynamic Load Testing:

Piles are tested by applying dynamic loads, typically with a hammer, while sensors measure the response. This method is faster than static load testing and provides data on pile capacity and integrity.

2. Static Pile Load Testing

This involves applying a load to the pile and measuring its displacement. It is one of the most reliable methods to determine the bearing capacity of the pile. The load can be applied either vertically or laterally.

3. Integrity Testing 

(Low Strain Integrity Testing and Cross hole Sonic Logging) This category includes various non-destructive tests to evaluate the quality of the pile material and detect flaws, such as cracks or voids. The most common methods include:

3. 1.Low Strain Integrity Testing (Sonic Echo Testing or Pulse Echo Testing) 

(Low Strain Integrity Testing and Cross hole Sonic Logging) This category includes various non-destructive tests to evaluate the quality of the pile material and detect flaws, such as cracks or voids. The most common methods include:

3. 2.Cross Hole Sonic Logging (CSL) 

Uses ultrasonic waves transmitted between tubes within the pile to assess the integrity of the concrete
