Abstract:The work described here represents an attempt to understand the mechanisms of energy
transfer from steel H-piles driven with diesel hammers to the surrounding soil and the energy
attenuation through the soil by measuring ground motion vibrations in the near vicinity of the
pile. Attenuation rates of vibration decay with radial distance from the driven pile were
calculated. A spreadsheet tool was developed to estimate distances from the pile at which the
threshold settlement vibrations may be exceeded.
