Piles and Pile Driving Hammer Performance for H-Piles Driven to Bedrock
In recent years design stresses in piles have been increasing due to economic pressures and changes in pile driving specifications. Before unsatisfactory designs are executed where steel H piles are driven to bedrock, this research project was performed to study a current driving specification. Although a complete investigation of all bedrock/soil conditions, pile hammer and pile sizes was an impossible task, two bedrock/soil conditions were selected as the most critical cases. Several hammer types and sizes were used in order to determine safe pile design loads and proper driving specifications to avoid pile damage. Test piles were statically load tested and extracted. In addition, dynamic measurements were made to determine hammer performance and pile capacity for every blow. These measurement techniques are the result of previous research projects and make possible the determination of pile performance for the total length of driving.
