Book Analysis of Pile Foundations Subject to Static and Dynamic Loading

Download or read book Analysis of Pile Foundations Subject to Static and Dynamic Loading written by Amir M. Kaynia and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents computational tools and design principles for piles used in a wide range of applications and for different loading conditions. The chapters provide a mixture of basic engineering solutions and latest research findings in a balanced manner. The chapters are written by world-renowned experts in the field. The materials are presented in a unified manner based on both simplified and rigorous numerical methods. The first four chapters present the basic elements and steps in analysis of piles under static and cyclic loading together with clear references to the appropriate design regulations in Eurocode 7 when relevant. The analysis techniques cover conventional code-based methods, solutions based on pile-soil interaction springs, and advanced 3D finite element methods. The applications range from conventional piles to large circular steel piles used as anchors or monopiles in offshore applications. Chapters 5 to 10 are devoted to dynamic and earthquake analyses and design. These chapters cover a range of solutions from dynamic pile-soil springs to elasto-dynamic solutions of large pile groups. Both linear and nonlinear soil behaviours are considered along with response due to dynamic loads and earthquake shaking including possible liquefaction. The book is unique in its unified treatment of the solutions used for static and dynamic analysis of piles with practical examples of application. The book is considered a valuable tool for practicing engineers, graduate students and researchers.

Book Probabilistic Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles Using P y Method

Download or read book Probabilistic Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles Using P y Method written by Richa Bhatnagar and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reliability-based analysis of laterally loaded piles needs to be incorporated where the lateral movement of the foundation affects the operation of the structure. The 'p-y' approach is a widely used soil-pile interaction model to analyze the response of laterally loaded piles. Currently, nominal values of soil parameters are used in the 'p-y' model depending on the judgments of the designers. This judgment leads to ambiguity which can potentially be overcome by using reliability based design. Following the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) approach, resistance factors may be developed for the use in design of laterally loaded piles. Furthermore, using the 'p-y' model and Monte Carlo simulation, lateral load displacement curves can be developed for laterally loaded piles. Hyperbolic load displacement behavior of the soil-pile interface is considered for the analysis. The load displacement curves are analyzed to find the probabilistic load capacity relationships of piles. These relations are then utilized to further develop the resistance factors that can be included in LRFD applications. Finally, a parametric analysis is carried out where the soil-pile interface parameters are varied to understand their effect on the resistance factors.

Book Nonlinear Behavior and Modeling of Piles in Partially Liquefied and Layered Soil Conditions

Download or read book Nonlinear Behavior and Modeling of Piles in Partially Liquefied and Layered Soil Conditions written by Barbara Jean Chang and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saturated soils, particularly cohesionless soils, may liquefy when subjected to earthquake excitation, resulting in reductions in strength and stiffness of the soil. The consequences have shown to be devastating to foundations in past earthquakes. For pile foundations, a reduction of vertical or lateral soil resistance may cause failure of the super structure. To study this issue, two unique 1-g soil-pile tests were conducted. The models were constructed in a laminar soil box which was subsequently placed on a uniaxial shake table. One experiment focused on characterizing the soil resistance of partially liquefied soil, while the other on multi-layered soil and the effect of its movement and load demands on the nonlinear behavior of piles. These two different experimental configurations illustrate scenarios commonly observed in the field, where the behavior of the soil and the pile merit further investigation. While evidence in the literature indicates that the lateral soil ("p-y") resistance of piles in liquefiable soils is significantly reduced, the shape and amplitude of the reduced p-y curve during pore pressure build-up is not well understood. To investigate this, a single steel pile embedded in homogeneous saturated Nevada sand was subjected to sequential dynamic shaking and lateral inertial equivalent loading. A key goal in the test program was to develop a data set capable of rendering insight into the characteristics of p-y resistance under developing and partial liquefied soil conditions. Test data were used to back-calculate p-y resistance curves for partially liquefied soils. These curves are subsequently adopted in a numerical study of the behavior of piles in partially liquefied soils considering different layering conditions. In contrast, in a multi-layered soil profile, if a loose layer liquefies, large localized plastic demands may be generated in the piles. In the case of concrete piles, these demands manifest flexural cracks in the concrete, which weakens the pile and exposes it to subsequent environmental degradation. During the experiments conducted herein to study this issue, plastic demands in the pile were characterized using curvature profiles coupled with back-calculation of the plastic hinge length and post-test physical observations. Numerical modeling studies demonstrate the applicability of current design-oriented tools to capture these key response parameters needed for design.

This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 2224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice contains the invited lectures and all papers presented at the 12th International Symposium on Landslides, (Naples, Italy, 12-19 June 2016). The book aims to emphasize the relationship between landslides and other natural hazards. Hence, three of the main sessions focus on Volcanic-induced landslides, Earthquake-induced landslides and Weather-induced landslides respectively, while the fourth main session deals with Human-induced landslides. Some papers presented in a special session devoted to "Subareal and submarine landslide processes and hazard” and in a “Young Session” complete the books. Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice underlines the importance of the classic approach of modern science, which moves from experience to theory, as the basic instrument to study landslides. Experience is the key to understand the natural phenomena focusing on all the factors that play a major role. Theory is the instrument to manage the data provided by experience following a mathematical approach; this allows not only to clarify the nature and the deep causes of phenomena but mostly, to predict future and, if required, manage similar events. Practical benefits from the results of theory to protect people and man-made works. Landslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice is useful to scientists and practitioners working in the areas of rock and soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and geology.
