<p><p><strong>Reference(s):</strong></p><p><em>Brown et al. (2007)</em></p><p><strong>Method Summary</strong></p><p>Post-construction integrity testing is best used to verify that the production parameters (penetration speed, grout/concrete pressure and volume, etc.) are appropriate for the site conditions to produce piles with the desired properties and without defects.

<p><p><strong>Reference(s):</strong></p><p><em>Brown et al. (2007)</em></p><p><strong>Method Summary</strong></p><p>Brown et al. (2007) present a performance-based specification in which the contractor is responsible for computing static resistance, setting pile length requirements for a given design axial loading, and verifying that the performance requirements are satisfied via the use of load tests.
