T1 - Evaluation of the dynamic load test on bored piles in sandy soil N2 - This paper summarizes the detailed planning of an evaluation project for dynamic load tests on bored piles in sandy soil. A test site had to be prepared, which ensures comparable conditions at all pile locations as well as a detailed knowledge on soil parameters and other boundary conditions. A detailed site investigation program was performed at a dedicated area on the BAM test site near Horstwalde south of Berlin, Germany. The site consists mainly of well graded, partly well compacted medium sands. A test program is designed that aims to give full responsibility for the testing performance to the operating consulting engineers. While each consultant is responsible for the testing of one of eight similar virgin piles, the test results will be compared to static load tests performed after the pile capacity analysis. The tests aim at a better understanding of the reliability of dynamic load tests and the necessary precautions for a good quality result.
