Evaluation of Hydroacoustic Rapid-Impacting Pile Driver.
Abstract
Tests to evaluate the driving capabilities of the rapid-impacting hydroacoustic pile driver on various types and sizes of vertical piles and horizontal batter piles are described and discussed. The functional and operational characteristics of the driver are described, test results and output analysis are presented, and the hydroacoustic driver is compared operationally and economically with the vibratory driver and conventional dielsel pile hammer.
