Construction / Civil Engineering
Even the most experienced operator has no idea how far the pile will go on the first hit. They call it *** A RUNNING PILE***. Problem is you've only got one shot at it. So what's the key to getting it right???

running pile
estaca livre
Em alguns solos, o simples peso da estaca (ou a primeira pancada do martelo) fá-la penetrar uns bons metros. Durante a construção da Ponte Vasco da Gama, vi estacas penetrarem 28 metros (o comprimento total era cerca de 65 m), só por acção do seu peso próprio. Chamamos a isto a "estaca estar livre", "estaca livre" ou "penetração livre".
