A Performance Investigation of Pile Driving Hammers and Piles
An experimental study of field pile driving operations was made in Michigan which tested air-, steam-, and diesel-powered pile driving hammers on piling of various configurations at sites selected to represent a varied range of soil conditions. Hammer performance was recorded by conventional methods and also through electronic transducers for experimental determination of force, acceleration, and deflection. Resulting data were evaluated and compared in terms of blow count, pile penetration rate, and 'Enthru' (net energy delivered to the pile top). Selected piles also underwent extensive static loading tests. From data obtained; measured pile supporting capacity was correlated with that estimated from soil boring data secured prior to pile driving. Eleven common dynamic pile formulas were analyzed in light of this correlation of estimated and measured pile capacity. Guidelines are presented for selection of hammers and for good pile driving practice. (Author)
