Wave Equation. Use the Wave Equation Analysis for Piles (WEAP) program to evaluate the suitability of the proposed driving system chosen from the methods noted above (including the hammer, follower, capblock and pile cushions) as well as to estimate the driving resistance to achieve the pile bearing requirements and to evaluate pile driving stresses. Use the WEAP program to show that the hammer is capable of driving to a driving resistance equal 130% (1.3 times) the driving resistance shown in the Plans without overstressing the piling in compression or tension and without reaching practical refusal. Perform the WEAP analysis with personnel who are experienced in this type work, and have performed this analysis on a minimum of 15 projects. Provide a list of the qualifications and experience of the personnel to perform the WEAP analysis for this Project. The Engineer may modify the scour resistance shown in the plans if the dynamic pile test is used to determine the actual soil resistance through the scour zone. Also, the Engineer may make modifications in scour resistance when the Contractor proposes drilling and/or jetting to reduce the soil resistance in the scour zone. A minimum of two weeks prior to beginning any pile driving operations, submit to the Engineer for evaluation and approval the following information on all of the proposed pile driving system(s) to be used on the Project including but not limited to:
