Chiseling energy can be calculated as weight of chisel X drop of chisel x nos of blow

X 0.8 / pile cross section area

Chiseling criteria:

600 mm Φ chisel = 1.2 T weight.

Drop of chisel = 1.5 m to 1.8 m

Energy / Blow = 1.2 T x 1.5 m = 1.8 T-m

No. of Blows in 30 min = 250

Energy given in 30 min = 450 T-m

Pile area = 0.2827 m2

Energy level = 1591 T.m/m2

Penetration in Soil Energy imputed Penetration in cm Eenery level
