Kelvin Pile Set Calculation

This document provides details on calculating the required number of blows from a hydraulic hammer needed to drive a spun pile for a bridge project in Sarawak, Malaysia. It lists specifications of the pile like its size, weight, and intended working load. It then shows Hiley's formula used to calculate the number of blows (S) required to reach the ultimate pile working load of 600 tons. The calculation determines S is 1.14 mm per blow, or 11.44 mm after 10 blows.

EfWH W+e2Wp
Pu = x
S + C/2 W+Wp

0.9 x 14.2 x 1200 14.2 .+ 0.0625 x 28.62


600 = x
S+ 8.4 14.2 .+ 28.62

S = 1.14 mm per blow

S = 11.44 mm per 10 blows
