DRIVING PILES THROUGH AN EARTHFILL?
DRIVING PILES THROUGH AN EARTHFILL?
(OP)
I wonder if somebody has experience in driving concrete piles through an earthfill structure formed by particles between 2 and 10”. The piles would support a wharf and the earthfill structure would support the filler in the back of the wharf. The eartfill structure would have a thickness from 15 to 18 m.

What I am talking about really has application on land, however if one were to think of using sand as an earthfill surrounded by well-graded large rock to minimize the loss of sand it might be possible to build a berm of sand to a certain height, place the large rock around it, then place more sand in the middle followed by more large rock around it and so on until it met the grade requirements.
