The Pull Out Test is one of the methods used to inspect an anchor’s load carrying capacity. This test determines the tensile strength capacity. The tested load will be applied in the parallel direction to the anchor using a hydraulic pump with a load measuring system.
Displacement of the tested anchor is measured by a displacement transducer which shows real-time data. The Pull Out Test conducted by RE complies with the ASTM E488-10 standard.

The RE team investigated the condition of spun piles. It was found that the piles displayed cracking along the length of the piles. The team, then, installed equipment to detect the rate of crack-opening in the piles and collected data on ambient vibration of the problematic pile foundations.

In one case undertaken by RE, it was found that machine vibrations during the operations caused strong vibrations to the floor underneath. Thus, accelerometers were used to capture real-time floor and machine vibrations for all axes
