Blow Count Calculation Sample

This document provides the Danish formula for calculating blow counts when driving piles. The formula takes into account the design load on the pile, weight of the hammer, height of drop, modulus of elasticity of the pile material, length of the pile, and diameters. It then calculates values like ultimate bearing capacity, energy per blow, elastic compression, penetration per blow, and blow count per foot of penetration. The blow count per foot is estimated to be 20 blows based on the given parameters.

BLOW COUNT CALCULATION OF DRIVING PILE

DANISH FORMULA
PILE SET FOR PILING PIPE ASTM A252 LOCATION :
SR. NO. :

DANISH FORMULA :
Hammer Efficiency Value :
Varian of Hammer Value
1 Drop Hammer 0,75 - 1,00
2 Single Acting Hammer 0,75 - 0,85
in which : 3 Double Acting Hammer 0,85
4 Diesel Hammer 0,85 - 1,00

DATA :
P = Design load on pile (Reff. From Drawing) = 40 tons
Wh = Weight of Hammer = 1730 Kg
H = Height of Drop = 150 cm
E = Modulus of Elasticity of pipe pile = 29000000 psi
L = Length of Pile = 12 Mtr
Do = Outer Diameter of Pile = 12.75 in
Di = Inner Diameter of Pile = 12 in

P = Design Load on Pile = 88184 Lb


SF = Safety Factor = 3
QU = Ultimate Bearing Capacity = 264552 Lb
Wh = Weight of Hammer = 3813.96 Lb
E = Modulus of Elasticity of pipe pile = 29000000 psi
H = Height of Drop = 59.06 in
EB = Energy per Blow = 225233.86 Lb.ft
Eff = Pile driving hammer efficiency = 0.75
L = Length of Pile = 39.37 ft
Do = Outer Diameter of Pile = 12.75 in
Di = Inner Diameter of Pile = 12 in
A = Cross Sectional Area = 113.040 in2
WP = Weight of Pile = 880.433 Lb
Se = Elastic Compression of the pile, =((2 x Eff x Wh x L)/(A x E))1/2 = 0.099 in
S = Amount of pile penetration per blow = 0.589 in/blow
Blow count per 1 ft of Penetration = 20.380 blow/ft
~ 20.00 blow/ft
