Conclusions

1. The pile-driving accuracy affects substantially the driving cost. For this reason it is necessary to take into account the requirements placed on the driving a ccuracy in the design solutions for pile foundations.

2. Extremely rigid requirements should not be placed on the pile-driving accuracy, since they result in a considerable increase in the cost of the pile-driving work. The pile-driving accuracy should be determined from the constructional solutions for the pile foundations. For example, for cast-in-place caps, precast caps, capless pile foundations, and pile-columns, the requirements placed on the pile-driving accuracy should differ. Also, a high pile-driving accuracy over the needed requirements for the subsequent erection of the constructional elements should not be specified.

3. It is recommended that the construction organizations in charge of pile-driving work have at their disposal pile-driving machines permitting the driving of piles within a wide range of tolerances.
