Seismic response of end-bearing single piles
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A numerical study is presented of the dynamic response of end-bearing piles embedded in a number of idealized soil deposits and subjected to vertically propagating harmonic S-waves. Results, for both 'kinematic' and 'inertial' interaction, are offered in the form of dimensionless graphs and formulae covering a wide range of excitation frequencies and of crucial material and geometric parameters. Practical aspects of the evaluation of the influence of piles on the effective seismic excitation of a structure are discussed and a case history illustrates the usefulness of the presented results.

Effect of Pile Foundation on Natural Frequency of Soil Layer
Free vibration of soil often occurs during earthquakes. Since the vibration caused by earthquake does not have (steady state harmonic vibration) continuity, the alluvium vibrates with its natural frequency between two natural seismic waves. This study evaluates the effect of piles on the period of free vibration of a soil layer using numerical method. In the first stage, using analytical equati...
متن کاملSeismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings on Pile-Stabilized Slopes
This paper develops an analytical method to calculate seismic bearing capacity of a strip footing, which is located on a slope reinforced with rows of pile. The resistance of passive pile is determined based on normal and shear stress of the soil around the pile, which is then compared to other analytical methods. This comparison indicates an acceptable agreement. The variants of the study incl...

There are significant number of pile supported wharves around the world and this type of structures are commonly chosen for the construction of new waterfront port facilities. Batter piles have been used for a long time to resist large lateral loads from winds, water waves, impacts and earthquake. Their distinct advantage over vertical piles is that they transmit the applied lateral loads p...
متن کاملA Superelastic Retrofitting Method for Mitigating the Effects of Seismic Excitations on Irregular Bridges
Irregularities in bridge pier stiffness concentrate the ductility demand on short piers; while not operating on the longer and more flexible ones. The existence of non-uniform, ductility demand distribution in bridges significantly influences seismic response. As such, this paper proposes a new approach for balancing the ductility demand in irregular bridges by utilizing shape memory alloys (SM...
متن کاملFoundations for Dynamic Loads
Design of foundations in earthquake prone areas needs special considerations. Shallow foundations may experience a reduction in bearing capacity and increase in settlement and tilt due to seismic loading. The reduction in bearing capacity depends on the nature and type of soil and ground acceleration parameters. In the case of piles, the soil-pile behavior under earthquake loading is generally ...
