Abstract: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. Also included as an aid to the inspector/
engineer, are comprehensive field inspection data forms.
