Abstract
A steel pile often utilized to bear heavy loads of the upper sub-structure, e. g., bridge constructions and tall buildings. As the steel piles are driven in the underground, it is not easy to detect the depth of the existing pile foundation when there is no detailed foundation information available. However, accurate informations of the depths of piles becomes critical required when reinforcing the existing structures or constructing new ones at the adjacent stage to assure the safety of existing structures. In this study, we tested the applicability of the three components borehole fluxgate magnetometer for detecting the depths and locations of steel piles which are commonly used in civil engineering. Results showed that the information of location as well as the depth of steel piles could be obtained by using data from the three components borehole fluxgate magnetometer.
