The Smart Structures Inc SmartPile™ EDC system uses the output value MPI (Measured Pile Integrity) to dynamically report on the integrity of a concrete pile. MPI is a composite function that uses two parallel and independent analysis methods:
• The first based on the traditional detection of change in pile impedance (Z2/Z1) using a Wave Up analysis method (similar to the PDI BTA method)
• The second based on changes in the static pre‐load stresses in the concrete pile as measured by the embedded instrumentation (specifically the top and tip strain gauges)
