• 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 to estimate static load bearing capacity of piling from driving resistance records. This report should be considered as a supplement of Research Report Number 33-7. As stated in the preface, Research Report Number 33-7 was considered as an interim report of an exploratory investigation into the dynamic load-deformation properties of sands. This supplement (Research Report 33-7 A) includes improvements in instrumentation which were made since the interim report was published, and it presents results of final tests on the dynamic properties of three different sands.
