• Abstract:
  Damage to structures due to vibrations from pile driving operations is of great concern to engineers. This ; research has stemmed from the need to address potential damage to concrete-filled pipe piles and recently ; placed concrete structures that could be affected by pile driving vibrations. The study will focus on two topics: ; (1) The attenuation of potentially damaging pile driving vibrations with distance from the source, and (2) The ; effects of distance and curing time of concrete on the quality (unconfined compressive strength) of recentlyplaced ; concrete exposed to pile driving vibrations. The effects of pile driving vibrations did not cause problems ; with concrete compressive strength except for the case where concrete had only cured for 4 to 6 hours before ; vibration.
