PILE DRIVING ANALYSIS

Since a resistance of 900 kips desired, and since the soil is expected to "set up" by 2.0, the desired resistance during driving will be 900 kips/2.0 = 450 kips. In other words, if a resistance to penetration at the time of driving equal to 450 kips can be attained, the soil will set up to the desired value of 900 kips. ................
