Reducing the Effect of Pile Driving on Adjacent Shallow Foundations: An Improved Investigation

Abstract

Deep foundations are often constructed using pile driving techniques, but this method is not efficient in shallow foundation areas. This method does, however, create ground vibrations that may affect surrounding structures, particularly weaker ones, as they can develop fractures, experience irregular settlement, deform, or suffer issues related to the longevity of the building. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of vibration energy, its possible structural effects, and many mitigation options. On this topic, the study integrates real measurement data, simulations, and other illustrative examples to make recommendations aimed at the effective reduction of construction vibrations.
