Abstract
AbstractA model for vibro‐driving of rigid piles in sand is proposed incorporating the interaction of the vibrator–pile–soil system. The vibro‐driver force and the non‐linear soil resistance (dynamic f–w and q–w relationships) have been quantified in terms of in situ stress, relative density and particle size. The influence of relative density (0·65 and 0·90), particle size (effective grain size of 0·2 mm and 1·2 mm) and in situ stress (up to 20 psi) on the vibro‐driving of a closed‐ended pipe pile was investigated experimentally using a large‐scale laboratory testing system. The vibro‐driving model predicted the observed driving history reasonably well. A computer program (UHVIBRO) has been developed to analyse vibratory pile driving using the dynamic soil resistance relationships developed along with correlation factors from the systematic laboratory study.
