Two different single acting hammers are being considered for an open- ended pipe pile. Hammer A has a ram weight of 30 kN and a stroke of 3 m. Hammer B has a ram weight of 15 kN and stroke of 5 m. Both hammers use similar appurtenances. Which hammer will deliver the most energy to the pile? Which hammer will generate the highest stresses in the pile?
7.6 A dozer with as S-blade has pushed a normal load onto a level area. The height of this load measured at the inside edge of each track was 7 ft and 7.4 ft. The width of the load at the inside edge of each track was 8.1 ft and 8.4 ft. The greatest length of the pile was 16 ft. What is the capacity of the blade?

A precast concrete pile of size 30 x 30 is driven by a 300 kg drop hammer with a height of fall of 1.5 m. The allowable pile load is 2000 kg. Considering a factor of safety 6 what is the final set per blow using Engineering News Formula
The Young’s modulus of the concrete of the piles is 75.8 GPa and the concrete unit weight is 25 kN/m3. If the hammer strikes the pile at 3 m/s, and the pile cushion has the same cross-sectional area of the pile with a modulus of 2×105 kPa and a unit weight of 7 kN/m3, complete the wave equation analysis of the pile after one impact. Set the problem up in an Excel spreadsheet to carry the calculations until the movement of the pile stabilizes. Plot the displacement of the pile versus time. Note, when calculating the pile spring only, assume an element length of 4 m. This is still long but using the actual element length will make your constant too small, impacting the damping. Note that if using software elements would be less than 1 m.
