High-strain testing instruments for deep foundations are testing devices that are used to evaluate the load-bearing capacity and integrity of foundation piles. Unlike low-strain testing, a large impact force is applied to the pile head to generate stress waves, thereby simulating actual pile loading conditions. The terms, symbols, basic requirements, and technical specifications for high-strain testing instruments are specified by this standard. Necessary requirements such as hardware requirements; software requirements; shock amplitude linearity error, impact zero drift, center frequency and bandwidth of the acceleration measurement system; its static performance and dynamic performance; dynamic range; channel conformity error; environmental robustness; and electromagnetic compatibility are also included. Testing methods, inspection rules, and marking requirements for high-strain testing instruments are also provided by this standard.
