Geoequip has a listing of hammers that is useful. I would still want to have the cut for the hammer before depending on the date in this table.

I needed some information on defining “refusal” looking for some sort of criteria. I found an excellent 2-manual set from the USDOT:

Publication No. FHWA-NHI-16-009
Design and Construction of Driven Pile Foundations – Volume I & II

nhi16009_v1
nhi16009_v2

I’ve added the pdf excerpt that discusses refusal.

This is an incredible resource for ground anchors & tiebacks. Many of the linked references are out-of-print, but they contain valuable, timeless information
