'''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.
