Draw the diagram of ram-type pile-driving hammers.
Pile Driving is a type of activity in which piles are inserted in the ground or driven in the ground without doing excavation earlier. Piles are the oldest form of deep foundation to get the maximum shear strength and hard strata in loose or less dense soils. It helps to increase the bearing capacity of the soil in this method the ram which is the free falling weight is lifted up by means of compressed air or the steam. Then the compressed air is released when piston reaches the top of stroke and this helps to act the weight that is ram to fall freely on the top surface of pile driving it inside the soil. This is sort of working on gravity. The hammers can have 40 - 60 blows every minute. The hammers or rams are available in different sizes. This, is the activity performed for using the Ram type Pile driving Hammers. It can be drop hammer, diesel hammer and many more.
