High-strain testing instruments for deep foundations are testing devices used to evaluate the load-bearing capacity and integrity of foundation piles. Unlike low-strain testing, they apply a large impact force to the pile head to generate stress waves, simulating actual pile loading conditions. This standard specifies the terms, symbols, basic requirements, and technical specifications for high-strain testing instruments. It also includes 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. This standard also provides testing methods, inspection rules, and marking requirements for high-strain testing instruments.

P3456.1
IEEE Draft Standard for Testing Instruments for Deep foundations - Part 1:Low-strain Testing Instruments
Low-strain testing instruments for deep foundations are non-destructive testing devices used to evaluate the integrity and continuity of concrete piles after installation. They are among the most commonly used tools in pile quality assessment. This standard specifies the terms, symbols, basic requirements, and technical specifications for low-strain testing instruments. It should also include necessary requirements such as hardware requirements, software requirements, vibration amplitude linearity, the center frequency and bandwidth of the acceleration measurement system, dynamic range, environmental robustness, and electromagnetic compatibility. This standard also provides testing methods, inspection procedures, and marking for low-strain testing instruments.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
