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

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Steam Hammer Weight = (Allowable Pile Load*(Penetration per Blow+0.1))/(2*Height of Drop)
W_s = (P_a*(p+0.1))/(2*H_d)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Steam Hammer Weight - (Measured in Kilogram) - Steam Hammer Weight is the weight of the hammer used in steam hammer 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_s = (P_a*(p+0.1))/(2*H_d) --> (12.09*(0.002+0.1))/(2*0.3)

Evaluating ... ...

W_s = 2.0553

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.0553 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.0553 Kilogram <-- Steam Hammer Weight

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
