Abstract

The authors solve the problem on forces required to change drilling path of air hammers in soil. Soil mass is assumed a rigid–plastic medium with the Mohr–Coulomb yield, and the air hammer deviator is considered as a nondeformable body. The problem is solved in two stages: introduction of the deviator in soil and travel of the air hammer in soil with the rear deviated at a certain angle. The loads applied to the rear, the forces and the moment required to changing the path of an air hammer in soil are calculated.
