Vibration driving of piles into a soil is a complex mechanical process, accompanied with such phenomena, as a changing of structure of soil surrounding the driving element, soil liquefaction, decreasing of friction forces between soil and surface of the driving element. During vibratory driving of sheetpiles and piles the vibrations arise in the surrounding soils. The effect of these vibrations on closely located buildings or structures may lead to damage or destruction due to additional uneven ground settlement, ...
