USING THE PILE DRIVING ANALYZER (1999)

The advent of the wave equation analysis in the mid-seventies was a quantum leap in foundation engineering. For the first time, a design could consider the entire pile driving system, such as wave propagation characteristics, velocity dependent aspects (damping), soil deformation characteristics, soil resistance (total as well as the distribution of resistance along the pile shaft and between the pile shaft and the pile toe), hammer behavior, and hammer and pile cushion parameters.
