The subject matter relates to a method and an apparatus for vibrating-in a foundation into a building ground by initiating vibrations generated by means of a vibrating device attached to the foundation, the vibrations causing liquefaction of the building ground so that the foundation penetrates the building ground.

The present disclosure relates to a vibro-hammer 1 connected to heavy construction equipment, and more particularly, a vibro-hammer 1 having a side grip in which vibrations are prevented from being transmitted to a connected heavy equipment machine to avoid a problem such as a change in a perforation position, the vibro-hammer 1 is firmly connected to a perforated pile to transmit vibrations generated in a gear box to the perforated pile through the side grip and improve workability, arms are gear-coupled to each other to prevent the arms and the side grip from being released from each other due to frequent vibrations, a pair of arms and the side grip can come into close contact with the perforated pile or separated from the performed pile by a single cylinder, the side grip can be easily replaced according a shape of the perforated pile, and applicability and workability is improved.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system comprising a frame, which comprises an outer mast and an inner mast. The outer mast slides along the inner mast. A motor is coupled to the frame. A hydraulic system is coupled to the motor. A jackhammer head is coupled to the outer mast, which outer mast allows the jackhammer head to float up and down on the inner mast as the jackhammer head reciprocates. Thereby vibrations from jackhammer motion substantially do not get transferred to the frame.

A shock absorbing apparatus (suppressor) for a vibratory pile driver includes three suppressor sections, including a first section adapted and arranged to absorb a load up to a selected amount. A second suppressor section is adapted to absorb a load above the first shock-absorbing section, with a third suppressor system providing a transition between first and second suppressor action as load increases.

A vibrator arrangement for building soil improvement includes a sluice with a silo tube and a sluice drive for moving the sluice. The sluice is adapted to receive a bulk material and to guide the bulk material into the silo tube. A feed container for feeding the bulk material to the sluice is included and a feed container drive is provided for moving the feed container between a waiting position and an abutment position at the sluice. Also, a method for transferring bulk material from a feed container into a sluice with a silo tube of a vibrator device includes moving the sluice with a sluice drive and moving the feed container filled with the bulk material a between a waiting position and an abutment position at the sluice while the sluice is moving.

The dampening assembly includes upper and lower members connecting respectively, to a crane and a vibratory pile driver. The dampening assembly includes inner and outer housing members, the inner housing member connected to the outer housing member. The lower member is connected to an inner assembly of the dampening assembly. The inner housing member is connected to the outer housing member. Connected between the inner assembly and the inner housing member are opposing elastomer shock absorbing elements which stretch to varying extents depending upon the weight applied to the vibratory pile driver.
