PILESET CALCULATION USING MODIFIED HILEYS' FORMULA
( E * W * H ) * ( W + e^2 * P ) Ru = ( S + C/2 ) * ( W + P )
Where: E = Efficiency of hammer
Ru = Ultimate resistance of pile, in tonnes W = Weight of striking hammer, in kg H = Height of free fall of hammer, in m S = Final set, or penetration of pile per blow, in mm P = Weight of pile, in kg C = Temporary compression, in mm e = Coefficient of restitution W.L = Working load of pile, in tonnes
Diameter of pile : 400 mm Unit Weight : 384 kg/m
Hammer used : 11T Hydraulic Hammer Pile Type : Spun Pile Efficiency of Hammer : E = 75 % Hammer Weight : W = 9000 kg Assume penetration of pile : L = 12 m Weight of pile : P = 4608 kg Ram Height : H = 0.75 m Assume temporary compression : C = 14 mm (Assumed) ~15mm Coefficient of Restitution : e = 0.4 Factor of safety : F.O.S. = 2 Pile Working Load : W.L. = 195 Tonne
