THE ROLE OF RAM MOMENTUM IN PILE DRIVING. IN: CURRENT PRACTICES AND FUTURE TRENDS IN DEEP FOUNDATIONS
The author presents what he believes are compelling reasons to specify and use ram momentum rather than hammer energy for pile driving. Equations relating maximum pile head force and impulse to ram momentum are presented. The relationships between impulse and quake, pile set and damping are identified. The key components of a rationally based specification are presented.
