Axial Response of Three Vibratory and Three Impact Driven H-Piles in Sand

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA199126 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A research program to compare the ultimate axial capacity of vibratory and impact driven H-piles in sand was conducted at a San Francisco, CA, site. The effects of time-lapse after driving was also studied. The piles were instrumented so that both pile tip loads and load transfer along the pile could be determined. This report is an analysis of the pile load tests comparing impact and vibratory driven piles. The site is characterized, the load tests are described, the load tests results are analyzed and discussed, and recommendations and conclusions are made. Keywords Axial loading, H-piles, Impact hammers, Vibratory hammers.
