Q1: A pile weighing W1 kg penetrates S metres with its last blow. If W2 is the weight of the hammer having a drop of H metres, the pile can carry a maximum external loadA ![]() B ![]() C ![]() D ![]() ANS:B - To determine the maximum external load that the pile can carry, we can use the concept of the "pile driving formula" in foundation engineering. This formula relates the penetration of the pile to the energy imparted to it during driving. The potential energy imparted to the pile by the hammer is given by: E=W2×H Where:
