'''Dynamic load testing''' (or '''dynamic loading''') is a method to assess a [[Deep foundation|pile]]'s [[bearing capacity]] by applying a dynamic load to the pile head (a falling mass) while recording acceleration and strain on the pile head. Dynamic load testing is a ''[[high strain dynamic testing|high strain dynamic test]]'' which can be applied ''after ''pile installation for concrete piles. For steel or timber piles, dynamic load testing can be done during installation or after installation.
The procedure
▲The procedure is based on the [[case method]] of pile testing and is standardized by ASTM D4945-00 Standard Test Method for [[High Strain Dynamic Testing]] of Piles. It may be performed on [[pile|driven pilebnhhjjs]], drilled shafts and other cast in place foundations. In addition to bearing capacity, Dynamic Load Testing gives information on resistance distribution (shaft resistance and end bearing) and evaluates the shape and integrity of the foundation element.
The foundation bearing capacity results obtained with dynamic load tests correlate well with the results of [[Static load testing|static load tests]] performed on the same foundation element.{{Citation needed|date=July 2013}}
