Abstract:

In Florida, many structures are built on driven piles. Though it seems straightforward, pile

driving involves complex interactions between the pile, the hammer, the soil, and driving

procedures. Soils can even rebound, or push back, after each hammer blow. Some rebound is

expected, but when it is beyond certain limits, it is referred to as high pile rebound (HPR). Piles

designed for new construction in areas of the state that have historically encountered HPR

require additional hammer blows to drive the pile

to the desired depth. These additional blows risk

damage to the pile and a loss of supportive capacity.

Predicting HPR requires a better understanding of the

engineering properties of various Florida soils.

Florida Institute of Technology researchers conducted

a testing program to help engineers determine typical

properties of soils encountered during pile installation

when HPR occurs.
