Comparative Study of Thermal Integrity Profiling with Other Nondestructive Integrity Test Methods for Drilled Shafts
Integrity testing of drilled shafts and similarly constructed concrete foundations has evolved to combat the blind nature of the construction process and to increase quality assurance. The more popular methods include cross-hole sonic logging (CSL), gamma-gamma logging (GGL), and more recently thermal integrity profiling (TIP) and sonic caliper. Thermal integrity profiling, developed at the University of South Florida in the mid-1990s, utilizes the heat of hydration of curing concrete to evaluate the integrity of drilled shaft foundations. Comparing the results of the different test types is difficult due to the varied nature of the different tests. This paper looks at various shafts constructed across the nation, which were tested with thermal and at least one other method. When compared with CSL and GDL test results, TIP agreed with four of six cases for CSL and two of five cases for GDL. In the one case were both sonic caliper and inclination data were available, TIP showed good agreement.
