The processes underlying pile installation by vibratory loading rather than impact loading are complex. However, numerical studies using simple models for soil behaviour do throw some light on the basic dynamic processes involved. As better soil models become widely used, quantitative analyses using the techniques described, or simplifications of them, should be feasible.
