Dynamic response of piled structures including pile-soil-pile interaction

This article presents a numerical model and analyses of the dynamic response structures supported by groups piles. The uses finite element discretization to represent arbitrarily-shaped structures, coupled finite-boundary scheme embedded pile group. properly takes into account energy transferred from structure piles between through soil, so that effect pile-soil-pile interaction in can be studied. is used analyze wind turbine tower foundation blocks various designs. results show some common design approximations may result considerable misrepresentation these structures. also cases which only source excitation comes soil neighboring showed farther vibration, lower its amplitude vibration taller structure, resonant frequencies. These are possible with models like one presented this article, able describe exchanged
