Effects of Reinforcement on Pile Integrity Testing and Possible Ssolutions Pile Integrity Testing (PIT) is a nondestructive low strain method used to determine the either the integrity or the length of the pile based on a known or assumed wave speedfor testing pile integrity in concrete piles. This method involves mounting an accelerometer on the pile top and sending a force wave through the pile using a set ofsmall hammers varying from 1 lb to 8 lb.
