investigation of peak particle velocity variations during impact pile driving process
Authors
abstract
impact pile driving is a multi-component problem which is associated to multi-directional ground vibrations. at first, vibration is transferred from the hammer to the pile and then to the common interface of pile and soil. this is then transferred to the environment and has great impact on the adjacent structures, causing disturbance to residents and also damage to the buildings. it is of high importance to have sufficient estimation of pile driving vibration level in order to maintain the comfort of residents near the site and also to prevent the structural damage to buildings. in this study, a finite element model, using abaqus, with the ability of simulating continuous pile driving process from the ground surface, was introduced. the model was verified by comparing the computed peak particle velocities with those measured in the field. parameters affecting the peak particle velocity (ppv), for example elastic modulus, shear strength parameters, impact force, pile diameter, etc. were considered, and variations of ppv was investigated. results of present study indicated that ppv at the ground surface does not occur when the pile toe is located on the ground surface; as the pile penetrates into the ground, ppv reaches a maximum value at a critical depth of penetration. moreover, the amplitude of vibration on the ground surface reduced logarithmically with increasing distance to the pile. also, on the ground surface and radial distances of 3 to 20 m, maximum particle velocity occurred between 1 to 5 m depths of pile penetration. the results showed ppv as being directly proportional to the hammer impact force, pile diameter, friction angle and cohesion intercept and inversely proportional to the elastic modulus of the soil.

Vibratory installation of piles and casings can be extremely economical and therefore the contractors’ preferred method of pile driving. Compared to impact pile driving it also has the advantage of reduced noise pollution. Unfortunately, this installation method is still fraught with uncertainties. The foremost question is driveability and equally important is the question of bearing capacity o...

Numerical models of underwater sound propagation predict the energy of impulsive signals and its decay with range with a better accuracy than the peak pressure. A semi-empirical formula is suggested to predict the peak pressure of man-made impulsive signals based on numerical predictions of their energy. The approach discussed by Galindo-Romero, Lippert, and Gavrilov [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 138, i...
full textStudying Peak Particle Velocity Due to Blast in Development Tunnels’ Face in Coal Stoping
The impact of blast-driven shocks on the safety and stability of the underground coal mines has been well established. The seismic imperfections resulting from blasting depend on the total explosive energy released during blasting and the closeness of the development tunnel face to the stope face. Also, the quality of the rock mass wherein the whole stope face is located might pose considerable...
