Pile-driving method and vibration control method

Provided is a pile-driving method that makes use of sympathetic vibrations along the length of a pile to drive the pile into the ground. A load is applied to the head of a pile, said load being equivalent to between 0.26 and 3 times the mass of the pile, and the pile is vibrated by means of sympathetic vibrations corresponding to a resonance mode in which the top of the pile is an antinode.
