Various drop weight systems maybe used for testing drilled shafts, bored piles, and auger cast-in-place (CFA) piles. The hammer mass may be made out of steel or heavily reinforced concrete, and is usually guided to assure concentric impact. It is lifted, supported by a frame, and then released either by a mechanical trip device, by cutting a support cable, or by releasing hydraulic jaws. These systems may test pile or shaft capacities 50 to 100 times the hammer weight. The use of plywood cushioning protects the shaft from damage during impact. |
