Abstract

The application relates to a method for assessing the load bearing capacity of an inserted pile, including: applying, by a vibrator device arranged at the inserted pile, the inserted pile with a measuring pulse string during at least one vibration time period, detecting, by at least one detection module, motion data of the inserted pile caused by the measuring pulse string during a measuring time period, determining at least one downward motion data set from the detected motion data; and evaluating the downward motion data set such that a load bearing capacity criterion is determined.
