Simple methods of analysis are developed for computing the dynamic steady-state axial response of floating pile groups embedded in homogeneous and non-homogeneous soil deposits. Physically-motivated approximations are introduced to account for the interaction between two individual piles. It is found that such an interaction arises chiefly from the ‘interference’ of wave fields originating alon...

Pile groups are designed to sustain complex loads in various engineering. During the design of a pile group, obvious group effect should be considered for closely spaced groups. However, by different scholars varies, which makes it hard engineers consider group. In this study, finite element (FE) method is proposed advance our understanding variations effects developed researchers, based on con...
