Driving piles near a retaining wall
Driving piles near a retaining wall
(OP)
Hi, are any good references for stresses exerted to walls due to pile driving? I will have a new wall (3-5 meters high) and a building about 3 meters apart from the wall. Piles will be approx. 10 meters long. We will be pre-drilling deeper to the depth of the wall foundations, then drive the piles. Perhaps stresses against the wall are minimal as the piles are pre-drilled and also driving is likely to start at deeper locations than the wall foundation. Under these conditions, do you consider vibration against the wall for the wall design?....Thanks for your input... !!

The type hammer and its specs are important, too. A modern hydraulic hammer may be a better choice than a traditional compressed air or diesel single or double acting model. I've attached a paper on successful H-pile driving (with a hydraulic hammer) near (within 1.4 meters) of a specific type retaining wall (4.6 meters high).
