Line 1: '''Dynamic load testing''' is a fast and effective method of assessing foundation bearing capacity that requires instrumenting a [[deep foundation]] with [[accelerometer~~\|accelerometers~~]]s and strain transducers and analyzing data collected by these sensors. 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 piles]], 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.
