https://youtube.com/shorts/xU4TGSYS6G8 Vulcan 06 hammer mounted on a Pile Hammer Equipment excavator mast driving pile. The excavator mast, for certain piles and pile hammers, is able to become a pile driving rig, dispensing with the need for a crane or dedicated pile rig. Video courtesy of Pile Hammer Equipment, who manufactures the mast. I would advise … Continue reading Vulcan 06 on a PHE Excavator Mast Driving Sheet Pile
Impact-Vibration Hammers
Editor's Note: this is a topic that has occupied quite a lot of space on this site, starting with Russian Impact-Vibration Pile Driving Equipment and continuing with other pieces. That piece deals some with the early history but is more concerned with the development subsequent to this book at the VNIIstroidormash institute in Moscow. It is … Continue reading Impact-Vibration Hammers
Vibratory Downcrowding Units
For the rest of the book, click here. The scheme of a pile vibratory driver with a sprung load provides for the implementation of a narrow load in the form of additional elements that are laid on the sprung part and move when immersed together with the pile. This method has well-known advantages, the most … Continue reading Vibratory Downcrowding Units
About Those Vibratory Suspensions…
Scheme of the device of the vibrator of the simplest type. The vibrator consists of an electric motor 1, a directional vibrator 2 and a head 3; the design may also include loading plates 4. In the process of translating and putting online Savinov and Luskin's classic work The Vibration Method of Driving Piles and … Continue reading About Those Vibratory Suspensions…
Suspended Vibratory Hammers
For the rest of the book, click here. Vibratory hammers with spring load (Figure 35) were proposed by the authors in 1950.* Unlike machines of the simplest type with rigidly connected elements, this vibratory driver consists of two parts - a vibrating one, which includes a vibrator 1 and a cap 2, and a part … Continue reading Suspended Vibratory Hammers
D.D. Barkan’s BT-5 and the Vulcan 400
In the midst of posting The Vibration Method of Driving Piles and Its Use in Construction, it's worth stopping and looking at the first successful vibratory driver: the BT-5, developed by D.D. Barkan and his associates and first used at the Gorky hydroelectric project in 1949. It was the first successful use of a vibratory driver … Continue reading D.D. Barkan’s BT-5 and the Vulcan 400
Vibrators of the Simplest Type
For the rest of the book, click here. The main distinguishing feature of the simplest type of vibrodriver (Figure 27) is that all its parts are connected to each other and to the submerged body into one common whole. The vibrator consists of an electric motor 1, a directional vibrator 2 and a head 3; … Continue reading Vibrators of the Simplest Type
Vibrating Machines For Sheet Piling, Piling And Pipe Driving: Introductory Remarks
For the entire book, click here. Vibratory machines for plunging sheet piles, piles and pipes into the ground should be classified according to the type of dynamic effect on the immersed body, the device diagram. and drive type. According to the first sign, these machines are divided into two main groups: pure vibratory action - … Continue reading Vibrating Machines For Sheet Piling, Piling And Pipe Driving: Introductory Remarks
Practical Methods for Selecting the Parameters of a Vibratory Pile Driver
Editor's Note: this is the original presentation of the "Savinov and Luskin Method" for sizing a vibratory driver for a specific application. It has been reproduced in many publications and in various forms. I would remind my readers that the method is presented here in Those Pesky Kilogram-Force Units. For successful pile driving in each case … Continue reading Practical Methods for Selecting the Parameters of a Vibratory Pile Driver
Existing Proposals for the Theory of Vibratory Pile Driving
For the rest of the book, click here. 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
