Download Pile Driving Analysis by the Wave Equation - CEProfs

The same values that were used in Case VIII are used in Case IX.
The values for GAMMA1 through GAMMA3 are the same as used in Case VIII.
Cushion - Not used for this case.
Pile
The pile to be driven is an HP14x102 steel pile, 100 feet long. Given information as follows:
Area
= 30.0 in
Length
= 100 feet
Modulus of Elasticity = 30000 kips/in
Segment Weights = (0.102 kips/ft)(10 ft)
Thus, WAM(3) through WAM(12) = 1.02 kips
AE
Spring Rates = (30.0 in^2)(30000 ksi)/(10 ft x 12 in/ft)
Thus, XKAM(2) through XKAM(11) = 7500 kips/inch
Coefficients of restitution for the steel pile should be set to 1.0, as the damping is negligible.
Also, since each of the pile springs 3 through 11 can transmit tension, GAMMA(3) through
GAMMA(11) = -1.0.
Soil - Identical to Case VIII.
Card Input: Case IX
The same input for Case VII is used for Case IX except the following: 0001 and 0002 cards for
problem identification are modified.
Card 0102:
AREA = 30.0
Card 0103: DR1-DR4 = 3.0, 5.5, 6.5, 7.0
Card 0201:
WAM(12) = 1.02, weight of each pile segment
Card 0301:
XKAM(11) = 7500, spring rate of pile segments
