Immersion of Thin Steel Pipes into the Ground

by Don Warrington, posted in Vulcan and Vibratory Hammers

In construction practice, it is sometimes necessary to immerse thin steel pipes into the ground, used as electrodes, piezometers, injectors for cementation or chemical consolidation of soils, etc. With a short pipe length of up to 5-8 m, this operation does not present any great difficulties and is performed manually by driving. As the length … Continue reading Immersion of Thin Steel Pipes into the Ground

When carrying out excavation work in winter or in permafrost conditions, the most labor-intensive and expensive operation is the loosening (preliminary destruction) of frozen soil. This operation is performed using various mechanisms and devices. All of them have … Continue reading Application of Vibratory Hammers in the Development of Frozen Soils

Application of Vibratory Hammers for Soil Compaction

by Don Warrington, posted in Vulcan and Vibratory Hammers

For the rest of the book, click here. Vibratory compaction has become an important technique for soil improvement. It is interesting that at the start vibratory pile drivers were used in the early development of the technology. Vibratory pile drivers are increasingly used in industrial and hydraulic construction to compact soils. Currently, there are two … Continue reading Application of Vibratory Hammers for Soil Compaction

Drilling Using Vibration of Deep Dewatering and Artesian Wells

by Don Warrington, posted in Vulcan and Vibratory Hammers

For the rest of the book click here. Recently, some construction organizations have begun to use the vibration method for immersing and removing large-diameter casing pipes. At Stalingradgidrostroy recently [65], a hydrovibration method for immersing pipes with a diameter of 400-500 mm has been developed and successfully implemented. Using this method, it was possible to … Continue reading Drilling Using Vibration of Deep Dewatering and Artesian Wells
