An Industry Gets Restless: Terzaghi’s 1929 Paper on Dynamic Formulae and the Response

by Don Warrington, posted in Drivability and Vulcan Hammers

Goodrich's 1908 study on dynamic formulae was interesting but not as informative as one would like and not as impactful as he might have hoped. Wellington's Engineering News Formula continued to dominate the scene (in the U.S., at least) and other formulae were coming in and out of vogue here and elsewhere. Goodrich had restricted … Continue reading An Industry Gets Restless: Terzaghi’s 1929 Paper on Dynamic Formulae and the Response

Comments on “A novel soil reaction model for continuous impact pile driving”

This is yet another paper which cited my work, in this case the ZWAVE paper. Once again I'm not sure why they picked this one; it's probably because I explored a soil model based on that of Randolph and Simons (1986), which they also cited and discussed. I came back to models like this in … Continue reading Comments on “A novel soil reaction model for continuous impact pile driving”
