• Abstract:
  The broad objective of this project is to fully develop the use of the computer solution of the wave equation so that it may be used to predict driving stresses in piling and be used to estimate the static load bearing capacity of piling from driving resistance records. This report covers the specific objective of determining the dynamic load-deformation properties of various pile cushion materials. These properties are necessary for the wave equation analysis and have been found to have a most significant effect on the driving stresses and pile penetration during driving.
