The significant complexity of the phenomenon of vibrational immersion of bodies into the ground and the difficulties associated in choosing the optimal parameters of pile vibratory drivers prompted many researchers to attempt to construct a theory of vibrational immersion and vibroextraction. Work on the creation of such … Continue reading Existing Proposals for the Theory of Vibratory Pile Driving

For the rest of the book, click here. The main factors that determine the process of immersion in the ground (or extraction from the ground) of a pile subjected to vibration are the intensity of vibrations and the value of the resultant of external statically acting forces applied to the pile. Consider the influence of … Continue reading Factors on which the speed and depth of immersion of a pile subjected to vibration depend

Immersion in the ground of bodies subjected to vibration represents a complex mechanical phenomenon. Let us consider the features playing the most significant role in the process of vibration immersions so you can correctly understand the mechanism of this process. Imagine that at the head of a pile immersed in the ground to a certain … Continue reading Physical and Mechanical Features of the Phenomenon of Vibration Immersion

The vibration method of immersing sheet piles, piles and pipes in the Soviet Union was widespread in the postwar years. The initiative in the development of this method belongs to D. D. Barkan. Back in 1934 in the laboratory of the research Institute of Foundations of Structures experiments were conducted [5], during which for the … Continue reading Introduction

Editor's Note: in part as a follow-up to this post, I am putting up a translation of this chapter from the "seminal" classic on the subject of vibratory and impact-vibration pile driving. It is interesting to note that the lead designer on the original models of vibratories with both translational and rotational motion is M.G. … Continue reading Rotary Vibratory Hammers

Editor's Note: this topic is sort of the "Holy Grail" of vibratory pile driving, and has certainly been studied since the publication of this book, mostly in Europe. The Soviet perspective on the problem is interesting. It is also interesting that they discuss the bearing … Continue reading Bearing Capacity of Piles Driven by Vibration Method and Manufactured Using Vibration Technology

This determines the need for building foundations near existing structures by high-performance methods, which include the vibration] method. It should be noted that in the conditions … Continue reading Application of the Vibration Method Near Existing Structures
