Analysis of a Bending-Stressed Pile in Interaction with Subsoil

This study explored reinforced concrete piles located in a flexible half-space and loaded with external loads, considering various contact elements the connection between pile ground massif. Piles are mainly solved as axially stressed by vertical force. However, there also several cases construction industry where is horizontal force or bending moment, producing pile. A static model of surrounding subsoil was constructed using software based on FEM. The modelled from 3D finite that were rotationally symmetric around axis Additionally, symmetrical piles. boundary conditions applied surfaces perimeter at bottom up to area zero deformation. presented analysis focused description different types surface mass. interaction fixed point-to-point contact, surface. In next part, considered. Floating piles, supported joints firmly woven into massif, All these outputs FEM compared analytical solution bent published 1980s. deformations internal forces during modelling edge mass compared. higher values studied quantities for rigid connections, which logical. For elements, property introduces less stiffness, thus, resulting lower those connection. numerical very valuable engineers working construction.
