From Hiley Formula

Ru = Wh*h*η
S+½c

Where,

Ru = ultimate driving resistance (2*working load) 200 tonne

Wh = hammer weight 4 tonne

h = hammer drop height 1500 mm

η = efficiency factor 0.382

c = temporary compression (pile+helmet+packing) 20 mm

k = constant frictional loss (winch operated) 0.8

e = coefficient restitution (r.c. concrete) 0.25

Wp = weight of pile (l *γ ton/m) 5.04 tonne

S = final set per last blow 15 mm

η = k (Wh + e ²Wp)
Wh + Wp

= 0.8 [4.0 + (0.25)² * (5.040)]


4.0 + 5.040

= 0.382

S = Wh*h*η - c
Ru 2

= 4.0 (1500) x 0.382 - 20


200 2

= 1.456 mm

Say, set of last 10 blows is 15 mm
