Vibratory　driving　techniques　have　become　increasingly　popular　all　over　the　world　primarily　for　driving　and　extracting　piles.　High-frequency　vibratory　hammer　with　hydraulic　clamping　device　has　many　advantages.　However,　its　foremost　questions　are　driveability　and　the　bearing　capacity　calculation　of　the　installed　pile.　At　present　limitations　in　engineering　knowledge　related　to　the　vibratory　driving　technique　present　an　impediment　for　being　able　to　utilize　their　full　potential.　A　brief　history　of　the　vibratory　techniques,　the　functioning　of　modern　vibratory　equipments　and　various　components,　mechanical　action　and　the　most　important　vibratory　parameters　are　presented.　A　detailed　literature　review　is　given,　that　is,　forepart　research,　vibro-driveability　tests　and　numerical　analysis.　And　then　a　series　of　models　of　vibratory　driveability　are　depicted　including　their　corresponding　theories,　assumptions,　justifying　methods　and　noticeable　questions,　which　are　classified　in　the　terms　of　mechanics,　kinematics,　energy　conservation　and　integration　of　motion　law　respectively.　Finally　some　aspects　are　put　forward　which　should　be　studied　to　enlarge　the　engineering　knowledge　and　to　utilize　the　full　potential　of　the　techniques.
