Height of Drop given Allowable Load for Drop Hammer Driven Piles Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Drop = (Allowable Pile Load*(Penetration per Blow+1))/(2*Hammer Weight)
H_d = (P_a*(p+1))/(2*W_h)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Height of Drop - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Drop is the vertical distance over which a drop hammer falls to compact soil or other materials in field compaction tests.
Allowable Pile Load - (Measured in Kilogram) - Allowable Pile Load is the maximum load that a pile can safely support without experiencing unacceptable levels of settlement or failure.
Penetration per Blow - (Measured in Meter) - Penetration per Blow is the measure of penetration of pile on each blow of hammer.
Hammer Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Hammer Weight is the weight of the hammer used in dynamic pile driving.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Allowable Pile Load: 12.09 Kilogram --> 12.09 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Penetration per Blow: 2 Millimeter --> 0.002 Meter (Check conversion here)
Hammer Weight: 20.19 Kilogram --> 20.19 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_d = (P_a*(p+1))/(2*W_h) --> (12.09*(0.002+1))/(2*20.19)

Evaluating ... ...

H_d = 0.300004457652303

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.300004457652303 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.300004457652303 ≈ 0.300004 Meter <-- Height of Drop

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
