Abstract

Driven piles have been used in many civil engineering structures to provide structural loading support. However, the unavoidable vibrations induced by pile driving process may cause varying degrees of damage to adjacent buildings. Dynamic behavior of machinery deep foundation embedded in dry sand was experimentally investigated. In the dynamic analysis, the amplitudes of land vibrations are examined based on the variation of the pile shape. The aim of this work is to find the effects of the vibration wave transmitted from open ended pipe and H-piles during driving on the nearby structures. Moreover, investigate the dynamic response of the soil to record the maximum distance of the damage impact on neighboring buildings in order to reduce the damage.

The results of analysis indicated that the effect of vibration wave speed that transmitted from open ended pipe pile equal to 0.41 mm/s which is less than that for H-pile which was 1.1 mm/s. While the maximum acceleration value of vibration wave was gradually decreased for H-pile more than that of open ended pipe pile. The dynamic response of both models pipe and H-piles of vibration wave displacement gradually increased until the final penetration depth of pile.
