- Vibrations due to pile and sheet pile driving are part of a complex process involving several factors that influence both vibration magnitude and frequency. Better understanding and prediction of the vibrations generated will greatly benefit the civil engineering practice as well as the construction industry. An important component in understanding vibrations due to pile driving is to comprehend and understand working procedures and the influence of different factors. The objective is to present and discuss factors and working procedures that influence vibrations caused by pile driving, based on three current field tests and formerly presented experience from literature. It is concluded that the factors have the highest impact on ground vibrations due to pile driving are the geotechnical conditions, the vibration generated at the source, the distance from the source and the installation method.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vibrations due to pile and sheet pile driving are part of a complex process involving many elements and factors that influence both vibration magnitude and frequency. Better understanding and prediction of the vibrations generated will greatly benefit the civil engineering practice as well as the construction industry. An important component in understanding vibrations due to pile driving is to comprehend and recognise the factors that influence these vibrations. The objective of the present study is to identify factors that influence vibrations caused by pile driving. Furthermore, current models for prediction of vibrations are discussed and evaluated. Based on the literature study conducted it is concluded that the most important factors are the geotechnical conditions, the energy generated at the source and the distance from the source. The identified factors should be included in order to create a reliable prediction model for vibrations caused by pile and sheet pile driving

Ground vibrations due to pile and sheet pile driving : influencing factors, predictions and measurements

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ground vibrations due to pile driving are part of a complex process. Vibration is generated from the pile driver to the pile. As the pile interacts with the surrounding soil, vibrations are transferred at the pile-soil interface. The vibration propagates through the ground and interacts with structures, both above ground and underground. The vibration continues into the structure where it may disturb occupants and/or damage the structure.In this thesis the study of the vibration transfer process due to pile driving is limited to the vibration source and the wave propagation in the soil. Vibration transmission to adjacent buildings and structures is not studied. However, impact of vibrations on buildings is briefly discussed in the literature study.It is important to accurately predict the magnitude of ground vibrations that result from pile driving in urban areas, both over- and underestimated vibration levels lead to increased costs. A lot of research has been performed within this field of knowledge, but a reliable and acknowledged prediction model for vibrations induced by pile or sheet pile driving is still needed.The objective of the research project is to increase the knowledge and understanding in the field of ground vibrations due to impact and vibratory driving of piles and sheet piles. This research project also aims to develop a reliable prediction model that can be used by practising engineers to estimate vibration due to pile driving. This licentiate thesis presents the first part of the research project and aims to increase the knowledge and understanding of the subject and to form a basis for continued research work.The most important findings and conclusions from this study are:The main factors influencing vibrations due to pile and sheet pile driving are; (1) the vibrations transferred from the pile to the soil, (2) the geotechnical conditions at the site and (3) the distance from the source.The vibrations transmitted from the pile to the soil depend on the vibrations transferred to the pile from the hammer, the pile-soil interaction and the wave propagation and attenuation in the plastic/elasto-plastic zone closest to the pile.There is today no prediction model that fulfils the criteria of the “perfect” prediction model; reliable but yet easy to apply.Future research should study the transfer of vibrations at the pile-soil interface, including the generation of a plastic/elasto-plastic zone in the area closest to the pile and how that affects the transfer of vibrations from the pile to the soil.

- As part of aconstruction work pile and sheet pile driving unavoidably generates vibrations.As of today construction works are often located in urban areas and along withsociety’s increasing concern of environmental impact the need for vibrationprediction prior to construction is of immediate interest. This study presents a review of the predictionmodels existing today. For prediction of ground vibrations from pile and sheetpile driving there are roughly three different types of models; empirical models,theoretical models and engineering models. A prediction model should bereliable in all cases where it is meant to be used. It is also important thatit is relatively easy to use and that the input data is easily obtained. Thisstudy concludes that, as of today, there is a lack of such a model. Today’smodels either lack in reliability or require great amounts of input data,knowledge and skills as well as time and money. The findings within this study constitutethe initial part of an on-going research project at the division of Soil- and RockMechanics at the Royal Institute of Technology in cooperation with the DevelopmentFund of the Swedish Construction Industry and NCC Construction Sweden.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To enable the study of the sheet pile-soil interaction during driving, it was essential to have a record of the sheet pile vibrations as well as the vibrations at depth in the surrounding soil. In this paper, an instrumentation system for vibration analysis during vibratory sheet pile driving was presented. The instrumentation system was used in a full-scale field test where vibrations were measured on the sheet pile as well as at depth in the ground. The new instrumentation system and the field test were thoroughly described. As a sheet pile was driven into the ground, vibrations were transferred both at the toe and along the shaft. Whether it was the toe or the shaft that created the largest contribution to vibrations in the ground is debated in literature. Results from the field test were presented in order to investigate the effect of the position of the sheet pile toe on the ground vibrations at depth. It was shown that, within a distance of about 1.6m from the driven sheet pile, the ground vibrations at depth were affected by the passing of the sheet pile toe. The current field test also indicated that the toe contributed to more ground vibrations than the shaft.

Measured ground vibrations during vibratory sheet pile driving
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The installation of piles and sheet piles in the vicinity of existing foundations requires the engineer to predict the environmental impact on nearby structures and buildings. In the presented case study an extension of Karlstad theatre was planned, the theatre and surrounding buildings are founded on loose geological deposits close to the river delta of Klarälven. The uncertainty in predicting the environmental impact on the theatre and adjacent buildings led to the decision of performing a trial sheet piling using vibratory driving. The generated ground vibrations as well as the settlement of the ground surface were measured. The results of the measurements showed that large settlements occurred in the loose sand layer. It was also observed that the horizontal vibrations were larger than the vertical vibrations close to the driven sheet piles. From the field study it was concluded that geotechnical conditions as well as distance from the source have large impact on the generated vibrations. A comparison between measured and predicted vibrations using empirical relations gave valuable insights for the development of future prediction models.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Vibrations due to sheet pile driving are a problem in many urban areas today. Increased knowledgeof the vibration transfer process from source to nearby objects is important in order to enableminimization of induced vibrations. The transfer of vibrations from sheet pile to soil is dependent onthe sheet pile behaviour during driving. This paper presents a 3D finite element study of thebehaviour of a vibratory driven sheet pile, complementing results from a full-scale field test. Thefinite element model accounts for strain dependent soil stiffness using an equivalent linear soilmodel. The conclusion is that the sheet pile bends considerably during driving with eccentricclamping. Furthermore, it is shown that the bending mode is similar irrespective of sheet pilepenetration depth.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Vibration transfer between sheet pile and soil during vibratory driving is commonly modelled using theory developed for impact pile driving. However, field observations and previous literature show that a driven sheet pile vibrates both vertically and horizontally. A transfer of vibrations to adjoining sheet piles in the sheet pile wall can also be observed. Results from a full-scale field test are presented showing that driven sheet piles vibrate both horizontally as well as vertically and that vibrations to a high degree are transferred to adjoining sheet piles. Based on the results it is suggested that the common vibration transfer model is modified to better capture the real behavior of the driven sheet pile and the adjoining sheet pile wall.
