DETERMINATION OF DRIVING SET FOR 200 MM X 200 MM SQ. R. C.

PILE
BY DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

PROJECT : CONSTRUCTION OF 'PENCAWANG PEMBAHAGIAN UTAMA' (PPU) SUB-STATION AT KLIA

SEPANG

FORMULA USED : KREUGER FORMULA

(MODIFICATION OF HILEY FORMULA)

F-S. X R = E W H X W + P/4
S + C/2 W+P

1. - Type of hammer used : Hydraulic hammer

2. - Weight of hammer, W 3 Tonnes -

3. - Drop of hammer, H 400 mm

4. - Length of pile , L ; 12 m

5. - Weight of pile , P 0.096 t/m x 12 m 1.2 Tonnes

6. - Working load of pile , R 43 Tonnes

7. - Safety factors , F.S. 2

8. - Assuming temporary compression , C: 12

9. - Final set blow , S

10.- Efficiency of hammer, E 0.85

COMPUTATION :•
EWH
F.S. x R = 11.860

W+P/4
W+P = 0.792

To find S : S+C/2 = EWH x W+P/4

F.S. x R W+P

S SB 9.39 . - 6
= 3.39 mm Per blow
< = 33.9 mm Per 10 blow

* Recommended driving set is 25_ mm per 10 blows,

or one inch per 10 blows.

Note: The set calculation is only a guide and should be ascertained on site by load testing the pile.
