ABSTRACT Based on the theory of tube wave propagation in a fluid‐filled borehole, this paper proposes a new method for detecting the integrity of pile foundation and overcomes some limitations of the existing pile integrity tests. The basic principle of detecting the pile integrity by the tube wave, testing equipment and concrete quality evaluation of piles are introduced. The feasibility of the tube wave detection for geological exploration of a bridge pile in a karst development area is verified by field tests. Through some test cases of prestressed high strength concrete pipe piles, cast‐in‐place piles and rock‐socketed piles with defects, the accuracy of the tube wave detection and other methods is compared. Then, some issues of the application of the tube wave for detecting pile defects are discussed. Finally, the content of this paper is summarized, and some suggestions on further research are put forward.

管波检测在桩基质量评价中的推广

摘要 基于充液钻孔管波传播理论，本文提出了一种检测桩基完整性的新方法，克服了现有桩身完整性测试的一些局限性。介绍了管波检测桩身完整性的基本原理、检测设备及桩身混凝土质量评价。现场试验验证了管波探测用于岩溶发育区桥桩地质勘探的可行性。通过预应力高强混凝土管桩、灌注桩、嵌岩桩等有缺陷的一些试验案例，比较了管波检测与其他方法的准确性。然后，讨论了管波在桩身缺陷检测中应用的一些问题。最后，
