Example 16.9: A reinforced cement concrete pile weighing 30 kN (including helmet and dolly)
is driven by a drop hammer weighing 30 kN with an effective fall of 0.9 m . The average pen-
etration per blow is 15 mm . The total temporary elastic compression of the pile, pile cap and
soil may be taken as 18 mm . Coefficient of restitution 0.36. What is the allowable load on the
pile with a factor of safety of 2? Use Hiley's formula.
