This chapter discusses wave equation, however prior to that dynamic equations are analyzed. Dynamic equations do not consider stress distribution in the pile, pile diameter, or type of pile. The two piles shown are located in completely different soil conditions. Dynamic equations will not differentiate between the two cases. This chapter is designed to provide information regarding the strength properties of soil under rapid loading situations. During pile driving, the pile is subjected to rapid loading. Geotechnical engineers are required to provide information to wave equation computer programs for analysis.
