Application of the stress wave method for automatic signal matching and statnamic predictions
conference paper
The Unloading Point Method (UPM) has become the standard method of analy-sis for Statnamic testing. For long piles with wave numbers (Nw) less than 12, however, the method becomes less accurate because of stress wave phenomena (concrete piles longer than 35 m or steel piles longer than 40 m). In these cases, the signal matching stress wave method can be used to determine the static load curve. The paper will discuss the principles of automatic signal matching for Statnamic and is illustrated with case histories. The stress wave method for Statnamic predictions will also be demonstrated.
