ANALYSIS ON PRE-CAST DRIVEN PILE FOR DRIVING STRESS

PILE SPECIFICATIONS MATERIAL STRENGTH PROPERTIES GRADE (MPA) GRADE (psi)

m m CONCRETE CYLINDRICAL CRASHING

Check for Driving Stress

Formula for use with Diesel Hammer:

Ru= [12efEn/ (s+0.5(C1+C2+C3)] x [(Wr+e Wp) / (Wr+Wp)] ---------(I)

Ru = ultimate carrying capacity of pile (ultimate resistance to driving) TO BE CALCULATED

Wr= weight of falling mass 7714 lb

En=Rated energy per blow 75768 lb-ft
ef= hammer efficiency 100 %
Wp= weight of pile 14458.09313
L = length of pile 826.56 inches.
e = coefficient of restitution * 0.4
*[Pile Top Covered by steel plate during driving.]
s = set value 0.25 inches.
C1= temporary compression allowance for pile head and cap 0.1
C2= temporary compression of pile, in= Ru L/ AE 1.003E-06 X Ru
C3= temporary compression allowance for quake of ground 0.1
A= average cross section of pile 189.778176 Sq.inches
E= modulus of elasticity for pile material=57000√ f’c 4.34E+06 psi

So, placing the values in equation -I,

3.053E-07 X Ru2 + 0.461 Ru - 909216 =0

Solving the equation above:
Ru = 741134.0167 lbs
= 3296859.505 N

Stress on concrete during driving(Ru/A) = 26.91 MPa

COMMENTS: AS THE CONCRETE CYLINDRICAL CRUSHING STRNGTH SUGGESTED AS 40 MPa, SO THE DRIVING STRESS IS
APPLICABLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR DRIVEN PILE.
