Existing formulae for the calculation of safe loads for reinforced concrete piles are critically examined, and errors in theory are shown. A new theory of the phenomena of driving is advanced, and a set of graphs based on the theory, is prepared for application to reinforced concrete pile driving. Allowances are made for weight and ·drop of hammer, size and length of pile, size and weight of dolly or helmet, degree of cushioning in the helmet (or strength of concrete in pile), and type of supporting strata. .
