CROSSHOLE SONIC LOGGING (conforms to ASTM D6760-08)
A sonic logger such as the Cross-Hole Analyzer is used to detect defects in cast-in-situ piles.
Cross Hole Sonic Logging provides information on:
* Honeycombing due to inadequate vibration
* Segregation due to over vibration and improper concrete placement methods
* Washout of cement due to groundwater flow
* Cracks in pile shaft due to shrinkage
* Inclusion of foreign material causing contamination of concrete
* Necking of pile due to collapse of side walls during withdrawal of temporary casings
Access tubes (normally 4 numbers) have to be installed prior to testing. There is no limit to the
depth where the pile profile is logged. Results are displayed on the screen real time.
BENEFITS:
* No need for mobilization of hammers
* Used effectively on bored piles
* Economical
* Conforms to ASTM D6760-08
