Dynamic Coefficient of Friction for Bay Mud
Dynamic Coefficient of Friction for Bay Mud
(OP)
Hello Gentleman,
I am trying to determine the loading on a crane while extracting sheets with a vibratory hammer in "Bay Mud" soil.
With static friction no crane would be able to lift the sheets out, but while using dynamic friction I hope to get a better idea of what the loading could possibly be.
Does anyone have any information regarding a similiar situation? Or have a resource for coefficients of friciton for different soil types?
LMI's would also give us the "asbuilt" condition while trying to perform this action but for time/money/production reasons having a better idea before hitting jobsites would be beneficial.
Thanks,
-D.

If you get on the job and the hammer is unable to extract the piles even when putting the suspension in "full tension," then your hammer is too small.
