1. Modelling and simulation of vibratory driven sheet piles - Development of a stop criterion
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : During excavations, steel sheet piles are often installed through vibratory driving, to establish a retaining wall that resists soil instability and ground water leakage. The method of vibratory driving is that the sheet pile is driven into the soil with a vertical vibratory motion. This is especially effective in soft soils. READ MORE

2. Vibration caused by sheet pile driving- effect of driving equipment
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : In many construction works in urban areas vibratory driving is the most widely used technique toinstall sheet piles. But due to vibration-sensitive equipment and structures the amount of inducedground vibration need to be minimized. READ MORE

3. Soil Plugging of Open-Ended Piles During Impact Driving in Cohesion-less Soil
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : During impact driving of open-ended piles through cohesion-less soil the internal soil column may mobilize enough internal shaft resistance to prevent new soil from entering the pile. This phenomena, referred to as soil plugging, changes the driving characteristics of the open-ended pile to that of a closed-ended, full displacement pile. READ MORE

4. Pile – Soil Interaction during Vibratory Sheet Pile Driving : a Full Scale Field Study
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Urban construction sites require strict control of their environmental impact, which, for vibratory sheet pile driving, can include damage to nearby structures due to ground vibrations. However, the lack of knowledge concerning the generation of soil vibrations makes the prediction of ground vibration levels difficult. This MSc. READ MORE

5. Ground Vibrations due to Vibratory Sheet Pile Driving
University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanikAbstract : Vibratory driving is today the most common installation method of sheet piles. The knowledge of the induced ground vibrations is however still deficient. This makes predictions of the vibration magnitudes difficult to carry out with good reliability. READ MORE
