Experimental Studies of Vertical Dynamic Stiffness of Single Floating Piles under Low Amplitude of Dynamic Force
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the experimental studies of vertical dynamic stiffness of single piles subjected to small amplitude of vibrations with constant dynamic load. The test results were correlated with the static load test results that had been carried out on the same piles. The ratio of dynamic to static stiffness mainly falls between 1.2-1.4. The dynamic stiffness measurements were compared with the theoretical stiffness parameter presented by Novak [5]. It was found that theory predicted the stiffness parameter very well when the shear wave velocity at the pile tip increased 4 to 7 times the shear wave velocity of soil determined from the pile Static load test.

Nonlinear dynamic response of floating piles under vertical vibration
This paper presents the influence of non-linearity on the dynamic response of floating pile foundation subject to vertical vibration. A detailed theoretical investigation of stiffness and damping parameters is made for floating piles with different shear modulus reduction ratio of the weak zone soil. The accuracy of the non-linear analysis for predicting the dynamic response depends upon the ch...
متن کاملHarmonic Response of Pile Groups to Dynamic Loading
A completely general method of analysis for three-dimensional raked piles under harmonic excitation is discussed. The piles have been represented by a three-dimensional frame structure and the soil has been represented by a boundary element discretization scheme. A computer program has been written which carries out this analysis and produces a group stiffness matrix that can be included as a f...
