This thesis contains the results of a driveability analysis on two model piles driven into compacted clay soils. Two different soils are used to represent reasonable upper and lower limits to liquid limit and plasticity index of Recent deposits found in the Gulf of Mexico. The model piles were instrumented to measure the compressive stress wave as it traveled down the pile after the hammer impact. [...]
