High Strain Dynamic Pile Test Modular Training

Foundation QA provides remote PDA training with a self-paced online modular training program. The training program is ideal preparation for both the PDCA and FQA High Strain Dynamic Pile Testing Certification programs. Furthermore, it’s a valuable source for pile testing engineers who are seeking progressive improvement in their knowledge and skills. The training program which consists of nine modules and a two-part trial exam is prepared by
Dr. Julian Seidel.

Module 1: Introduction to Dynamic Pile Testing for Site Personnel
This module provides the trainee an introduction to dynamic pile testing and its application in foundation projects and basic requirements for quality assurance.
MODULE 2: Preparation for Field Testing
By studying this module, the trainee learns the introductory principles of dynamic pile testing theory, measurement and practice at an introductory level in order to be prepared for data acquisition in the field.
MODULE 3: Introductory Field Testing
After completion of this module, the trainee must be able to acquire valid dynamic pile testing data.
MODULE 4: FUNDAMENTALS OF WAVE MECHANICS
This module gives a good understanding of the application of one-dimensional wave mechanics to the analysis of pile driving and testing events.
MODULE 5: Case Method and Soil Resistance
This module prepares the trainee to be able to estimate pile capacity using the Case method and understand its limitations.
MODULE 6: Construction Control
By completing this module, the trainee should gain a good understanding of the application of the PDA to check hammer performance, pile stresses and pile integrity.
MODULE 7: Field Testing with Interpretation
The basic theory learned in this module is aimed at assisting the trainee to be better able to interpret PDA data acquired during the on-site training component for this unit.
MODULE 8: Wave Equation Analysis for Prediction of Pile Driving
This module is currently unavailable.
MODULE 9: CAPWAP Analysis
This module provides a theoretical background of the CAPWAP program and enables the trainee to undertake valid CAPWAP analyses with reasonable parameters and modeling.
Licenses for the training program are for 1 year and all material is downloaded to your Windows device.
There is also two trial exams on PDA Data Acquisition and Data Interpretation in the module package. In the following, it is possible to preview and download trial exams on PDA Data Acquisition and Data Interpretation.
