The Sonic Logging Technique, also known as Cross Hole Ultrasonic Method (CHUM) is used to determine the defect in cast in-situ piles, caisson, barrettes and diaphragm walls. Such tests can produce an economic survey of each pile to complement the more expensive capacity testing which is restricted to a small percentage of piles.

The homogeneity of a foundation pile is very important in order to ensure its serviceability to support the load transferred from the building or structure constructed. Phenomena such as honeycombing due to inadequate vibration, segregation due to over vibration and improper concrete placement method, wash out of cement, cracks in the pile shaft, inclusion, necking and arching of the pile due to collapse of side walls during withdrawal of the temporary liners are very common in construction of bore piles. Therefore, effort must be taken to ensure each pile installed on site to be free from any kind of defects during the installation.

The Sonic Logging Test can be the most suitable method to detect the defects of the piles that are mentioned above. In homogeneous concrete, free from defect and variation in quality, the velocity of "sonic" wave propagation is constant. The sonic logging technique works by way of detecting any acoustical irregularities on the sonic profiles between the access tubes. For example, a sudden increase of the

travel time at any depth indicates a defect at this depth or a relatively low quality concrete has being localized. The cross hole ultrasonic method has been described in a number of recognized standards (AFNOR 1993, ASTM 2002). As we shall see later, the cross-hole method may be further refined to produce high-quality results
