Book Single Piles in Liquefiable Ground

Download or read book Single Piles in Liquefiable Ground written by Rui Wang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the seismic response of piles in liquefiable ground. It describes the design of a three-dimensional, unified plasticity model for large post-liquefaction shear deformation of sand, formulated and implemented for parallel computing. It also presents a three-dimensional, dynamic finite element analysis method for piles in liquefiable ground, developed on the basis of this model,. Employing a combination of case analysis, centrifuge shaking table experiments and numerical simulations using the proposed methods, it demonstrates the seismic response patterns of single piles in liquefiable ground. These include basic force-resistance mode, kinematic and inertial interaction coupling mechanism and major influence factors. It also discusses a beam on the nonlinear Winkler foundation (BNWF) solution and a modified neutral plane solution developed and validated using centrifuge experiments for piles in consolidating and reconsolidating ground. Lastly, it studies axial pile force and settlement during post-earthquake reconsolidation, showing pile axial force to be irrelevant in the reconsolidation process, while settlement is process dependent.

Book Dynamic Nonlinear Analysis of Pile Foundations Using Finite Element Method in the Time Domain

Download or read book Dynamic Nonlinear Analysis of Pile Foundations Using Finite Element Method in the Time Domain written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quasi-three-dimensional method of analysis is presented for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of single piles and pile groups. The analysis is performed in the time domain using strain-dependent moduli and damping, yielding at failure, and a no-tension cutoff. The analysis has been incorporated into the computer program PILE-3D and has been validated using data from centrifuge tests on a single pile and a 2 X 2 pile group under simulated earthquake loading. Analyses of the centrifuge tests demonstrated a significant reduction in soil moduli around the piles during strong shaking and a corresponding reduction in pile stiffnesses. The time-dependent shear modulus distribution in soil around the pile is obtained as part of the output. This allows the time variation of dynamic impedances of pile foundationsduring shaking to be established and allows a realistic assessment of thesingle-valued stiffnesses and damping factors usually incorporated into commercial structural analysis programs for the seismic analysis of pile-supported structures. The analysis also demonstrates the importance of inertial interaction between foundation and structure.

Book Analysis and Design for Inelastic Structural Response of Extended Pile Shaft Foundations in Laterally Spreading Ground During Earthquakes

Download or read book Analysis and Design for Inelastic Structural Response of Extended Pile Shaft Foundations in Laterally Spreading Ground During Earthquakes written by Arash Khosravifar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences from past earthquakes have shown that lateral spreading associated with liquefaction of cohesionless soils can be a cause of severe damage to bridge foundations. Large diameter extended pile shafts can be an effective bridge foundation choice for areas subjected to lateral spreading because they offer greater stiffness and strength relative to the magnitude of lateral spreading loads that can develop against them. A limited degree of plastic hinging below the ground surface may be allowable in design of extended pile shafts. Issues for design for extended pile shafts include: (a) how to estimate the demands due to superstructure inertia and lateral spreading in liquefied soils, and (b) how to combine these two loads in estimating the local and global inelastic demands on the structure. Studies of the response of pile foundations and pile-supported structures in liquefiable soils using physical models, numerical models, and case studies have provided the basis for a number of design recommendations. The guidance is, however, quite varied regarding how lateral spreading and superstructure inertial loads should be combined in design. To answer the above questions a series of Nonlinear Dynamic Finite Element Analyses (NDA) have been performed to investigate inelastic response of extended pile shafts subjected to liquefaction-induced lateral spreading, covering a range of soil, pile, and ground motion conditions. The results of NDA were first used to show that combined effects of lateral spreading and superstructure inertia produce larger demands than are produced by either loading case alone, such that the combined demand cannot be enveloped by analyzing the two load cases separately. The results were then used to evaluate current equivalent static analysis (ESA) method (Caltrans, 2008), with the relatively poor agreement illustrating the limitations of methods that do not combine the two loads. The results of NDA parametric study were then used to develop and calibrate an ESA procedure. The ESA procedure addresses both the nonliquefaction and liquefaction cases, and includes criteria that identify conditions which tend to produce excessive demands or collapse conditions. Finally, a series of three-dimensional (3D) Nonlinear Dynamic Finite Element Analyses (NDA) were performed to examine inelastic behavior of large diameter extended pile shafts subjected to earthquake shaking and liquefaction-induced lateral spreading. The purpose of these analyses was to evaluate the differences between 2D and 3D simulations, understand the source of any differences, and evaluate whether those differences would affect design recommendations for Equivalent Static Analysis (ESA).
