Question

Estimate the maximum depth of influence of dynamic (impact) compaction for the following weight and height combinations: 18 ton falling from 80 ft. ) 10 tonne falling from 10 m.

34 ton falling from 150 ft. ) 170 tonne falling from 22 m. Note: 1 (British) ton = 2,000 lb. and 1 (Metric) tonne = 1,000 kg = 2,205 lb.Also, plot theoretical potential energy vs. maximum depth of influence.%3D
