A hammer pile driver has a hammer with mass of 700 kilograms. It falls onto the top of a 140-kilogram pile from a 150 centimeter height, causing it to be buried 0.120 meters into the ground. If the impact is perfectly elastic, that is, e = 0, what is the average penetration resistance of the ground?
A 50 cm square precast pile is driven by 9 m into a sandy soil. The standard penetration test results, prformed on this ground, are given in the table below: Depth below ground surface (m) SPT (Nss) 1.5 3.0 4.5 4 6 6.0 12 12 20 24 35 39 If the skin resistance is equal to {T, = 2 x (average Nss along the pile shaft)) kPa. Compute the factor of safety available, if 1100 kN of compressive load is applied on this pile. 7.5 9.0 10.5 12.0
