Question: A steel H - pile ( section HP 3 3 0 X 1 4 9 ) is driven by a hammer. The maximum rated hammer

A steel H-pile (section HP 330 X 149) is driven by a hammer. The maximum rated hammer energy is 54.23kNm, the weight of the ram is 53.4kN, and the length of the pile is 27.44m. Also, we have coefficient of Restitution =0.35, weight of the pile cap =10.7kN, hammer efficiency =0.85, number of blows for the 2.54cm of penetration=10, and Ep =207x10kN/m^2.
Estimate the pile capacity using the modified EN formula. Use FS =3
*** answer : 1290kN ****
