A study was undertaken on the performance of pile driving systems and the existiny ; technology for the measurement of performance parameters was reviewed, This report ; is an inspection manual for use by pile driving inspectors and engineers to ascertain ; that the pile hammer conforms to certain minimum standards, and to record observations ; on hammer and driving,system behavior. ; The manual considers only impact hammers; i.e., a large weight is alternately being ; raised and then accelerated downward, impacting against the pile top. Vibratory ; hammers, which operate on a different principle altogether, have been excluded from ; this manual. ; In addition to pile impact hammers, the manual addresses the complete driving system ; to include cushions, helmets, and leads.
