WAVE EQUATION ANALYSIS OF PILE FOUNDATIONS: WEAP86 PROGRAM 1987 ISSUE. VOLUME 3. PROGRAM INSTALLATION MANUAL. FINAL REPORT

The WEAP Program, written and documented under a previous FHWA contract in 1976 and updated in 1981, was further developed. The new program referred to as WEAP86 includes all of the WEAP features plus the following new models: separate models for liquid and atomized fuel injection of diesel hammers; residual stress analysis; and realistic splice model. An important addition was an updated and/or revised hammer data file with the new efficiency values based on research performed under another contract for the FHWA. Furthermore, extensive tables covering helmets, cushions, and piles were compiled and included in the documentation. Another important facet of the WEAP86 work was the development of a program version for personal computers.
