BLOW COUNT CALCULATION OF DRIVING PILE

DANISH FORMULA
PILE SET FOR PILING PIPE ASTM A252 LOCATION :
SR. NO. :

DANISH FORMULA :
Hammer Efficiency Value :
Varian of Hammer Value
1 Drop Hammer 0,75 - 1,00
2 Single Acting Hammer 0,75 - 0,85
in which : 3 Double Acting Hammer 0,85
4 Diesel Hammer 0,85 - 1,00

DATA :
P = Design load on pile (Reff. From Drawing) = 40 tons
Wh = Weight of Hammer = 1730 Kg
H = Height of Drop = 150 cm
E = Modulus of Elasticity of pipe pile = 29000000 psi
L = Length of Pile = 12 Mtr
Do = Outer Diameter of Pile = 12.75 in
Di = Inner Diameter of Pile = 12 in

P = Design Load on Pile = 88184 Lb

SF = Safety Factor = 3
QU = Ultimate Bearing Capacity = 264552 Lb
Wh = Weight of Hammer = 3813.96 Lb
E = Modulus of Elasticity of pipe pile = 29000000 psi
H = Height of Drop = 59.06 in
EB = Energy per Blow = 225233.86 Lb.ft
Eff = Pile driving hammer efficiency = 0.75
L = Length of Pile = 39.37 ft
Do = Outer Diameter of Pile = 12.75 in
Di = Inner Diameter of Pile = 12 in
A = Cross Sectional Area = 113.040 in2
WP = Weight of Pile = 880.433 Lb
Se = Elastic Compression of the pile, =((2 x Eff x Wh x L)/(A x E))1/2 = 0.099 in
S = Amount of pile penetration per blow = 0.589 in/blow
Blow count per 1 ft of Penetration = 20.380 blow/ft
~ 20.00 blow/ft
