Non-Destructive Testing for Drilled Shafts
This online engineering CPD live webinar provides a comprehensive understanding of non-destructive testing in drilled shafts to help engineers identify and address potential defects.
Drilled shafts are vital components of large infrastructure projects, but improper techniques or insufficient monitoring can lead to critical issues. This webinar will explore the history and evolution of drilled shafts and provide a detailed review of construction methods. Identifying the root causes of construction challenges is essential for maintaining structural integrity and avoiding costly repairs.
Participants will gain insights into common problems encountered during drilled shaft construction, such as alignment errors, concrete placement issues, and defects that compromise performance. The webinar will categorize these defects and introduce cutting-edge non-destructive testing methods, including Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL), Crosshole Tomography (CT), and Sonic Echo (SE). These techniques offer powerful tools for diagnosing structural anomalies without damaging the shaft. Additionally, the session will cover both basic repair approaches and advanced remediation plans, along with effective mitigation strategies to reduce risks and enhance the long-term performance of drilled shafts.
This 1 CPD online live webinar is intended for engineers looking to gain practical knowledge to confidently address construction challenges, ensuring reliable, high-quality outcomes for their projects.
This continuing education live webinar is designed to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about historical development and advancements in drilled shaft construction.
