Downdrag: condition that adds load to the installed pile

Pile Hammers
Types of Hammers
•
Drop Hammers
• Single-acting steam or
compressed air
• Double-acting steam or
compressed air
•
Differential-acting steam
or compressed air
•
Diesel
• Hydraulic-impact and
drivers
•
Vibratory drivers
Hammer selection
considerations:
1. Number of piles
2. Character of the soil
3. Location of the project
4. Topography of site
5. Equipment available
6. Pile driving on land or
water
Pile Hammers
•
Drop Hammers
–
Only used in remote
areas with less piles
–
Time of completion is
not important
– Productivity
•
4-8 blows/min
–
Not suitable for
concrete piles
Pile Hammers
•
Double-Acting
Hammers
–
“ram” is driven by
compressed air to
steam both when
rising and when
falling
– 95-300
blows/min.
– Lighter ram and
high
Pile Hammers***
•
Single-Acting
Hammers
–
40-60 blows/min
– Sizes vary 7000-
1,800,000 ft-
lb/blow
–
“Ram” is lifted by
steam or
compressed air
and then dropped
Pile Hammers***
•
Differential-Acting
–
Uses the
advantages of a
single- and
double-acting
hammers
Pile Hammers
•
Diesel Hammers
–
Open end
•
40-55 blows/min.
–
Close end
• 75-85 blows/min.
–
Used in cohesive
or very dense soils
