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

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Hammer Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Hammer Weight is the weight of the hammer used in dynamic pile driving.
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.
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.

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)
Height of Drop: 0.3 Meter --> 0.3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_h = (P_a*(p+1))/(2*H_d) --> (12.09*(0.002+1))/(2*0.3)

Evaluating ... ...

W_h = 20.1903

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

20.1903 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

20.1903 Kilogram <-- Hammer Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
