Anyone can guide to a reference on
Estimating settlement of a dry sandy soil foundation (densification) induced by a driving (by vibration) a nearby (10 m far) pile.
Estimating the liquefaction potential of saturated sandy soil as a result of the pile driving/
Can the Peak.Particle.Velocity measurements be useful in this regard (to estimate the above required values.

I would suggest that you get a copy of Dowding's book on construction vibrations. It is good.
"Construction Vibrations" (2nd ed), Charles H. Dowding
I am currently working on a failure investigation for a construction vibration induced problem. Vibrations produced from construction equipment, compaction equipment, pile driving/drilling equipment and others can all contribute. Throw in loose sands and unstable slopes and you have a bunch of problems.
Without regard to trying to predict the resulting settlement, I would certainly recommend monitoring the vibrations both in the ground and on the structure during the pile driving operations. I would also set trigger points based on peak particle velocity or accelerations, depending on the reference you use.
Caltrans has some good info on vibrations, damage and monitoring during construction and from traffic.
"Vibrations of Soil and Foundations" by Richart, Hall and Woods is an excellent source of vibration spectra that can cause damage to structures.

I've never done such a task, however.
