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

Physical and Mechanical Features of the Phenomenon of Vibration Immersion
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
Introduction
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
Rotary Vibratory Hammers
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
Bearing Capacity of Piles Driven by Vibration Method and Manufactured Using Vibration Technology
For links to the rest of the book, click here. 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
Application of the Vibration Method Near Existing Structures
For links to the rest of the book, click here. Work on the reconstruction of existing enterprises occupy a significant place in construction, and their volume is constantly increasing. 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
Status of Pile Vibration Equipment Abroad
For other parts of the book, visit Vibro-Engineering and the Technology of Piling and Boring Work. Editor’s Note: This is a reasonable summary at the time it was written (1987) as far as it goes. Already, however, the dominance of the Japanese was waning (one Russian trade representatives told me that the Japanese weren’t very good … Continue reading Status of Pile Vibration Equipment Abroad
Means of Protection Against Vibrations of Load Lifting Devices Working With Vibration Exciters
You can access other parts of this book here: Vibro-Engineering and the Technology of Piling and Boring Work. Editor's Note This is a topic which was of great interest to Vulcan in the development of its vibratory pile drivers and extractors. As was the case with the Russians, all earlier vibratory drivers (including the Uraga units … Continue reading Means of Protection Against Vibrations of Load Lifting Devices Working With Vibration Exciters
Application of Vibration Technology
Click here to view the home page for the book. The use of vibration technology allows: increase labor productivity while saving energy and material resources; use mobile means of vibration technology and use them without bulky support structures for the perception of reactive forces; complex mechanization of construction processes. Table 1 lists the types of … Continue reading Application of Vibration Technology
Scope of Effective Application of the Vibration Method and Classification of Vibration Machines
The rest of the book can be found here. Analyzing the data given in § 1 and 2, the effect of the interaction of the vibrating body with the ground can be explained as follows. During vibrational immersion of elements into the ground, by introducing additional sign-alternating forces and/or torques, it is possible to significantly … Continue reading Scope of Effective Application of the Vibration Method and Classification of Vibration Machines
