Question
A reinforced cement concrete pile weighing 30 kN (including helmet and dolly) is driven by a drop hammer
weighing 30 kN with an effective fall of 0.9 m. The average penetration per blow is 15 mm. The total
temporary elastic compression of the pile, pile cap and soil may be taken as 18 mm. Coefficient of
restitution is 0.36. The allowable load on the pile is
(Assume factor of safety = 2 and use Modified Hiley's formula)
