Abstract
In this paper dynamic testing of piles using the low strain method is performed by means of numerical analyses based on solid finite element model. To this end, velocity-time curves are presented investigating the influence of various parameters such as mesh density, impulse width, receiving point, and soil modulus on the waveform characteristics. Then, find regularity of waveform affected by different parameters to provide reference of the real project detection.
