→ A reinforced cement concrete pile weighing 30 kN (including helmet and dolly) isuriven by a drop hammer weighing 30 kN with an effective fall of 0.9 m. The average pen- etration 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 0.36. What is the allowable load on the pile with a factor of safety of 2? Use Hiley's formula.
The wooden pile shown in the figure has a diameter of 95 mm and is subjected to a load of P = 80 kN. Along the length of the pile and around its perimeter, soil supplies a constant frictional resistance of w = 2.90 kN/m. The length of the pile is L = 5.6 m and its elastic modulus is E = 8.6 GPa.Calculate(a) the force FB needed at the base of the pile for equilibrium.(b) the magnitude of the downward displacement at A relative to B.
The wooden pile shown in the figure has a diameter of 105 mm and is subjected to a load of P = 70 kN.

I need detailed explanation to solve the exercise below. There are some formulas and hints, I also added some tables from the book.Meyerhof's method, Coyle and Castello's method and Vesic's method were already solved.
Using Engineering News formula, the allowable Load (Q) of a wooden pile hammered with a drop hammer (W = 30 kN), having free fall (H) 1.5 m, penetration in last blow (S) 5 mm, using empirical constant (C) as 2,5 and factor of safety as 6, will be
The circular concrete pile (γc=23kN/m3) of Figure Q2 has dimensions which depend on the ultimate (j) and the penultimate (i) digit of your ID number as described by the formulae in Table Q2. It is constructed inside a sand with shear strength characteristics as given inTable Q2 as well. Calculate the safety factor for a working load equal to Q=300kN. Note : My ID Number is 9477287
Two different single acting hammers are being considered for an open- ended pipe pile. Hammer A has a ram weight of 30 kN and a stroke of 3 m. Hammer B has a ram weight of 15 kN and stroke of 5 m. Both hammers use similar appurtenances. Which hammer will deliver the most energy to the pile? Which hammer will generate the highest stresses in the pile?
A square prestressed concrete pile with a 14 inch side is to be driven to the necessary depth. It needs to be able to support 105 kips. It has been determined that the point resistance qp is 120 ksf and the side friction fs is 450 psf. Use formula 12.2 (see attached image) to estimate how long the pile needs to be with a factor of safety of at least 2.5. Round your answer to a multiple of 5 feet. Use L as a variable to calculate the load in formula 12.2. L can be obtained from this equation.
Determine the amount of axial shortening that the friction pile undergoes in service. Assume that the surface (or “skin”) friction f (force/lenth2) varies as shown and that E and A are constant.

Q- A precast concrete pile is driven with a 50 KN hammer falling through a height of 1.0 m with an efficiency of 0.6. The set value observed is 4 mm per blow and the combined temporary compression of the pile, cushion and the ground is 6 mm. As per Modified Hiley Formula, find the ultimate resistance of the pile.
