There are several machines and equipment which are amployed for pile driving during construction, These machines and tools will be explained in the following sections. hps:theconstructar orp/geatechnicalpl-criving-equipment-types-uses/17605"2utm_source=pushengage&ulm_medium=pusn_noliicaionautm.ca... 115 ei212017 ‘Types of Pile Driving Equipments Applications, Advantages and Details comlons.

Fig.3: Plle Driving Rig The leader can be sloped forward and backward using screw or hydraulic adjustment and attachment at the base of the equipment as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. I is possible to install a series of piles, without need to move the equipment, through turning around base machine and positioning leaders. hhps:theconstructr orp/geatechnicalple-criving-equipment-types-uses/17605/2utm_source=pushengage&ulm_medium=pusn_noliicaionauim ca... 3115 ei212017 ‘Types of Pile Driving Equipments “Applications, Advantages and Details 5: Forward Raked Pile Regarding pile installation in water, pile driving rig can be used to Install piles in water by placing It on pontoon or leader are fixed on braced frames that mounted on pontaon as shown in Figure-6.

Furthermore, efforts have been made to improve the efficiency of driven pile machine and the Delmag MDT. (0802, which possess broad range of adjustments with great movement capacity, is compelling exemple, ‘The machine on which Delmag MDY 0801 Is fixed an is @ wheeled hydraulic excavator that it’s rams provided sideway, forward, and backward sloping leader, in addition to arrange the location of the rig in relation to the equipment. Finally, not only does the leader operation height can be changed thought leader telescoping but also it could be folded anto the base while the machine it moved from and to the construction site, Fig.8: Pile Driver Rig Piling Winches ‘The prime goal of pling winches is to left the hammer and piles in addition to support tools that responsible for leader raking and rotation. It functions with pile frames and cifferent powering sources such as hydraulic power, stream; diesel; or petrol engines, and occasionally electric motors could be applied far powering htps:theconstructr org/geotechricaliple-criving-equipment-types-uses/17605/Putm_source=pushengage&uim_medium=push_notficatongutm ca...

So, the former type would be favored provided that handing and driving piles with great speed is required Hanging Leader Hanging leaders are specifically designed to be hanged from the jib of a crane as shown in Figure-9. A steel strut, which its length can be varied as per requirements of construction site, provides a stiff connection from the leader foot to the machine bed frame, Fig.9: Hanging Leader Moreover, crane or excavator winch units are utilized to left the hammer and piles using separate drums. Regarding hammer application, elther drop hammer with friction winch Is considered or it may be operated using stream or hydraulic power or compressed air which are provided by cifferent units, Finally, its substantially crucial to practice utmost precaution to hanging leader stifress particularly in the case of long sloped pile driving since intolerable deformation would lead to eccentric hammer blow and possibly cause pile fracture Hammer Guides ‘When itis intended to remove hanging leaders or piling frames completely, rope suspended leaders which are commonly guided by timber or stee! formwork, would be considered. In this technique, an independent crane needed to control the pile and establishing the guide and hammer. it necessary to set and secure the guide properly in order to avoid movements specifically in the during raking pile installation, This is because serious fatigue stress would generate If the thrust Is not centered properly and the guide might deteriorate wushongagesuim_medium=push_noliicaiondutm ca... 6/15 ei212017 ‘Types of Pile Driving Equipments Applications, Advantages and Details Finally, Its required to prevent disproportionate bending stress development in guide and piles because It leads to undesired results. for example, when heavy hammer is attached to the upper end of 2 long pile wich Is driven at flat angle of rake, excessive bending stress may be generated at support point in the guide. This problem might be tackled by providing suitable support for the pile at proper position rn Fig.10: Hammer Guided and Rope Suspended Leader for Delmag Diesel Pile Hammer Piling Hammer ‘There are several factors that greatly influence the decision to choose suitable piling hammer. For example, pile size and weight, the resistance of the ground which should be overcame in order to obtain specified penetration, construction site space availability, noise limitation that right be imposed at certain areas, and availabilty of cranes, Previously, the combination of a dynamic equation result and extensive experiences were employed to select piling hammer, but this has changed nowadays and drivability analysis results, which is conducted using ‘computer program based on Smith wave equation, is considered for the piling hammer determination, {As for input data required for drivabilty analysis, pling hammer producer provided necessary data about efficiency and energy feature of the piling hammer, It should be bore in mind that pling hammer efficiency is not a constant and it Is affected by number of factor for example mechanical condition of the hammer and ‘operation temperature. It shoule be known that the mechanical condition is not influence the efficiency of pling drop hammer. That is why dynamic pile analysis is carried out and its results would be used to assess the influence of diferent factor fon the piling hammer efficiency, ‘There are various types of piling hammer with different energy characteristic and each is suitable for specif construction condition, diferent common types of piling along with their description, application, and advantages are provided in Table 1: Table-1: Different types of hammer piling along with their description, application, advantages, and disadvantages hps:theconstructr org/geotechricaliple-criving-equipment-types-uses/17605/Putm_source=pushengage&uim_medium=push_notficationgutm ca... 715 ei212017 Drop hammer, Figure 11 ile hammer descri itis @ forged steel with solid ‘mass ranges from 1000 to 5000Kq, and it i fitted with lifting eye and lugs for sliding inthe leaders Application Applied to install test piles Advantages Its application removes the need to employ steam boiler or air compressor to power the hammer, so itis economical choice Single acting steam or compressed air hammer, Figure 12 Description Consist of massive welght ranges from 2500 to 20000K9 with a cylinder shape, ane the power source would lift the hammer to specified height then the power is cut to drop the hammer and hit pile helmet, Maximum hemmer height 's 1.37m and no higher 1.2m in case of heavy pile Application Used for placing piles with diferent weights in different types of soils and suitable for pile installation in marine environment Double acting pile hammer, Figure 13 Description Double acting pile hammer is powered by steam or compressed and its mass rages from 90 to 2300K9 Vulcan hammer is an example of double acting hammer.
