Abstract

The limitations of using the sonic echo method for evaluating the integrity of driven concrete piles with near-surface flaws are examined. Criteria for detecting pile flaws in a compact region are obtained. It is shown that it is possible to use the multiplicative impact-echo method for determining the length of a pile with a near-zone flaw.
