Abstract
A method and apparatus for guiding a body into the ground by means of a single hammer acted on by a reaction mass which is driven by a double-acting piston-cylinder unit via a controlled, periodically changing stream of pressure medium and which generates forces which act on the body in its longitudinal direction, the body being driven by first causing the pressure stream to have an approximately sinusoidally pulsating form for imparting a vibratory movement to the hammer, and then, when the speed with which the body is being driven into the ground decreases below a given minimum value, causing the pressure medium to drive the reaction mass according to a periodic, approximately unsteady displacement-time function for imparting a hammering movement to the hammer, while, during such hammering movement, simultaneously monitoring the hammering energy being generated.
