Abstract

At laboratory scale, hydrophilic coating on the surface of precast concrete piles is capable of affecting the piles to be installed into a certain depth level with less number of hammer strokes than piles without coating. In this work, a preliminary study of pile driving tests in the field, the origin of the soil at laboratory scale, has been carried out. Based on our analysis result of the measurement data, it is found that the hydrophilic coating has different effects on pile driving at laboratory and field scales.
