productive, Hammer & Steel is pleased to announce the addition of
two new graduate engineers to its regional sales teams.
Luke Hutchinson, BSc. Mechanical Engineering, a graduate
of the University of Illinois will be based in St. Louis, Mo. and
will serve customers located in Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas,
Tennessee and Mississippi.
David Di Staulo, BSc. Mechanical Engineering, a graduate of
the University of Dayton, will be based in Jacksonville, Fla. and will
serve customers in the Southeast United States.
Hammer & Steel is a leading North American supplier of drilling
and pile driving equipment, accessories, hammers, piling products,
drill rig tooling, grouting equipment and monitoring systems. The

project might require.
▼ GRLWEAP14 WAVE EQUATION
SOFTWARE NEW RELEASE
GRLWEAP14 simulates motions and forces in a foundation pile
when driven by either an impact or a vibratory hammer. Its features
help improve the accuracy of predicted stresses, bearing
capacities, blow counts and installation time. Results can be further
refined when matched with field observation and measurement
results defined by the Pile Driving Analyzer® system (PDA).
The PDA is a high strain, dynamic load testing and pile driving
monitoring system. This versatile device can be used to perform
dynamic load testing on most types of deep foundations.
GRLWEAP14 innovations include:
• Multiple static geotechnical analysis tools including methods
based on soil type, SPT or CPT information (FHWA (Nordlund
& Tomlinson), API2 and A&H (Alme&Hamre) methods),
eliminating the need to replicate analyses
• Flexible Driveability Analysis input
• Simulates the pile response to impact or vibratory
hammer forces
• Helps select appropriate hammer and driving system with
known piling, soil and capacity requirements
• Determines pile driveability and estimates total driving time
• Available in standard and offshore versions
• Friction fatigue analysis with enhanced graphics for both
onshore and offshore applications
• Flexible Driveability Analysis input with multiple hammer
models (database includes nearly 1,000 hammer models)
• User-friendly interface with simplified menus and streamlined
summary reports (PDF printable format)
• Extensive driving system data for a special version for offshore
specific problems
• Flexibility to create non-uniform pile profiles with PileBuilder
