Pile Set Calculation

This document contains calculations to determine the number of blows and allowable penetration per blow required to set a 200mm x 200mm reinforced concrete pile driven into clay soil using a freely falling drop hammer. It uses modified Hilley's formula and references data from a Reinforced Concrete Designer's Handbook. The calculations determine the temporary elastic compression factor is 1.70464986 and the required number of blows is 0.160328. The allowable penetration per last 10 blows is 24.95mm.

Hiley Formula (Modified)


Settlement Load, Wm

= [(W x H x e x n) / (1 + ac x n)] + W + P

Numbers of Blows, n

= [Wm - w - P] / [(w x H x e) - (Wm - w - P) x ac]

Wm - w - P

= 961.84 - 30 - 30.92

900.92

wxHxe

= 30 x 1.0 x 450 x 0.53

Therefore Numbers of Blows, n

= 900.92 / [ 7155 - (900.92 x 1.70464986)]


=
0.160328

Therefore, The Allowable Penetration (mm) Per Last 10 Blows During Pile Setting
s = 10/(n x Fs) = 10 / (0.160328 x 2.5)
=
24.95 mm
