Numerical Simulations and Application of Radar Monitoring on the Quality of Flexible Pile in Composite Foundation

Abstract:

Because it is difficult to monitor the quality of gravel pile (the length, the diameter) in composite foundation, the method of radar is put forward. Numerical simulations of radar monitoring on flexural pile are processed. The results show that the method of radar monitoring can be used to check the quality of gravel piles (length, diameter) accurately. Then this technology is applied in some highway project. By comparing with the results of another company, the characteristics including high precision and speed are found. So the technology can be far and wide used.
