The master's thesis entitled Pile integrity test sonic echo method is presented pile integrity test with impulse echo method. A pile integrity test is a non-destructive test thats assesses a pile's reaction to some type of indirect physical scannin approach where we can locate damage on pile. With this method we can assessment big number of piles integrity test on same place and we guarantee safe place for work. Reflectogram evaluation with the bare eyes might be challenging at times, sometime we can se damage on pile but isn't there, to make this problem more manageable, a simulation should be built.
That's why I dedicated a major part of my master's thesis to correct diagnostics.
The field research included standard test Method for Low Strain Impact Integrity Testing of Deep Foundations (ASTM D 5882-07) and I included piles of different lenght and diameters on different objects in Republic of Slovenia, based on the obtained field data, analyzes of successful and unsuccessful measurements were carried out in the laboratory.
