To estimate the ultimate resistance Ru for the steel pipe pile driven by a hydraulic hammer, we can use the Hiley formula. Plugging in the given values, the estimated ultimate resistance Ru is 528 kN.

To estimate the ultimate resistance Ru for the steel pipe pile, we can use the Hiley formula. The formula is given by: Ru = (2 * ram weight * maximum stroke) / C₁.

Plugging in the values given in the question, we get: Ru = (2 * 88 kN * 1.5 m) / 0.5 = 528 kN.

Therefore, the estimated ultimate resistance Ru for the steel pipe pile is 528 kN.
