What is CAPWAP Analysis and its need ?
CAse Pile Wave Analysis Program is an analytical method that combines measured field data with pile wave equation type procedures, to predict the pile’s static bearing capacity and soil resistance distribution. Measured force and velocity data is directly input from the PDA. Based on the measured velocity data, the program computes force required to induce the imposed velocity. Both measured and computed forces are plotted as a function of time and the iterative analysis is continued till there is good agreement between both the curves. If the agreement is not satisfactory, the soil resistances at the pile point and along the pile are adjusted until a good match is obtained. This gives better estimates of the actual static pile capacity measured during field-testing, and also the friction and end bearing components. It is essential that CAPWAP be done on piles subjected to PDA test especially for bored piles subjected to Restrike. Some other methods like SIMBAT do not own CAPWAP and he
