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 Pile groups under cyclic lateral loading

Download or read book Pile groups under cyclic lateral loading written by Christoph Niemann and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the aim of this research work is to investigate and to assess quatitatively as well as quantitatively the bearing behaviour of pile groups subjected to cyclic lateral loading. In this context, the influences of different boundary conditions, in particular the soil properties and the pile group geometry are to be analysed experimentally and numerically. Based on a brief literature review in chapter 2, model tests (centrifuge and small-scale at 1g) and numerical investigations have been carried out to contribute to a better understanding of the cyclic behaviour of pile groups. Chapter 3 describes the test procedure and summarises the results of centrifuge tests, which have been carried out at the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems (COFS) in Perth, Australia. Further investigations have been carried out by means of smallscale model tests at 1g in the testing facilities at the University of Kassel, Germany, with the results as summarised in chapter 4. A comparison of individual results of both test series is provided in chapter 5. The numerical studies in chapter 6 have been carried out in order to analyse the general ability of numerical simulations to calculate the response of pile groups to cyclic lateral loading. Based on the previously derived results, chapter 7 provides equations that can be applied to estimate the cyclic accumulation of lateral displacements of pile groups as well as the cyclic changes of the load distribution within pile groups.

Book Soil Behavior Around Laterally Loaded Piles

Download or read book Soil Behavior Around Laterally Loaded Piles written by H. L. Gill and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field tests were performed to study the horizontal load-displacement characteristics of natural soil deposits and to associate these characteristics with the behavior of laterally loaded piles. The ultimate objective of the tests was to acquire information essential for the design of laterally loaded soil-supported structures. Three soil conditions were considered: (1) bay mud with a desiccated crust in its natural dry state, (2) bay mud submerged within the area of testing, and (3) a hydraulic fill of granular material classified as SP by the unified soil classification system. Segmental pile tests were performed with three sizes of laterally loaded segments and at various depths below ground surface in the bay mud. (Similar tests in the hydraulic fill were covered in a previous NCEL report.) Lateral load tests on full-scale piles from 4 to 16 inches in diameter were performed at each test site. Theoretical information, available soil data, and results of the segmental pile tests were compared and combined to establish representative lateral load-displacement relationships for the soil at any depth at the three sites by using rectangular hyperbolas. Theoretical predictions of the response of laterally loaded piles were made using these relationships, and the results were compared with data obtained during the lateral load tests on piles. Experimental data and theoretical predictions compared favorably. (Author).

Book Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Multilayered Soil Deposits

Download or read book Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Multilayered Soil Deposits written by Dipanjan Basu and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the development of a new method of analysis of laterally loaded piles embedded in a multi-layered soil deposit treated as a three-dimensional continuum. Assuming that soil behaves as a linear elastic material, the governing differential equations for the deflection of laterally loaded piles were obtained using energy principles and calculus of variations. The differential equations were solved using both the method of initial parameters and numerical techniques. Soil resistance, pile deflection, slope of the deflected pile, bending moment and shear force can be easily obtained at any depth along the entire pile length. The results of the analysis were in very good agreement with three-dimensional finite element analysis results. The analysis was further extended to account for soil nonlinearity. A few simple constitutive relationships that allow for modulus degradation with increasing strain were incorporated into the analysis. The interaction of piles in groups was also studied.

Book Advanced Design of Pile Foundations Under Lateral Loading

Download or read book Advanced Design of Pile Foundations Under Lateral Loading written by Wei Dong Guo and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents models that capture the nonlinear response of piles subjected to lateral forces. Utilising a consistent approach encompassing new mathematical models, it offers solutions presented as closed-form expressions and underpinned by the same set of 3-5 measurable soil-input parameters. These focus on nonlinear response of mono piles, anchored piles, pile groups, and torsional piles, as well as passive piles subjected to soil movement induced in shearing, sliding slopes or excavation, and earthquake shaking. The models can also be used for pipelines and similar beam structures. Solutions are provided in the form of design charts, with each parameter obtained using available test data and illustrated with real-world cases. The models reveal, for the first time, the mysterious mechanisms of amplification resulting from back-rotation, which have incurred the collapse of structures such as the Showa Bridge and Nicoll Highway, as well as the distortion of piles during earthquakes. Advanced Design of Pile Foundations Under Lateral Loading is ideal for practicing foundation engineers and students at graduate level. Wei Dong Guo is co-founder of Hans Innovation Group and former Associate Professor at the University of Wollongong, Australia. He is a Chartered Professional Engineer and is a Fellow of Engineers Australia by whom he was awarded the 2012 Warren Medal.

Book Response of Pile Foundations Due to Lateral Force and Soil Movements

Download or read book Response of Pile Foundations Due to Lateral Force and Soil Movements written by Hongyu Qin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 942 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : This research has investigated the response of pile foundations subjected to lateral force applied directly to pile head and loadings arising from lateral soil movements of the surrounding ground. The behaviour of pile foundations subjected to lateral soil movements was studied through physical modelling with a specially designed testing apparatus. Laboratory experiments have been undertaken on a single pile embedded in progressive moving sand. A triangular loading block was used in the model tests to induce a progressive soil movement profile. Apart from eight general tests, sixteen tests were conducted on a single pile to examine the effects of the distance between the source where soil movements were induced and the pile location, the magnitude of axial load applied at pile head, the variation of loading block angle, varying combination of sliding and stable layer depths, and pile diameter on the responses of piles. The results of previously conducted pile tests with a uniform soil movement profile were compared with those of the current tests to examine the effect of soil movement profiles on the pile behaviour. Simple solutions were proposed for predicting the pile responses. They provided good estimate of the development of maximum bending moment and maximum shear force in the piles with soil movement. Importantly, the maximum bending moments induced by the soil movements were found to be linearly related to the maximum shear forces (sliding thrust), independent of the magnitude and depth of soil movement and soil movement profiles. Experiments have also been conducted on pile groups in progressive moving sand, including various pile group configurations and spacing. Both free-head and cappedhead fixity conditions have been considered. The findings show that the resistances of the piles to lateral soil movements significantly rely on their locations in a group, especially for piles arranged in a line parallel to the soil movement direction. The results of the pile group tests were compared with those of the single pile tests. Group factors were defined in terms of maximum bending moment and modulus of subgrade reaction to quantify the impact of group effect. The simple solutions developed were extended for predicting the response of individual piles in a group with soil movement. The static and cyclic responses of laterally loaded piles in cohesionless soils have been investigated as well. Guideline for estimating the design parameters for laterally loaded rigid piles in cohesionless soils were provided from extensive back calculation of measured responses of fifty-one pile tests. The elastic-plastic solutions presented by Guo (2008) were used in the back calculation. Simple expressions were presented for estimating the parameters used in the solutions. The reliability of the back calculation, the effects of the ratio of loading eccentricity to pile embedded length on the nonlinear pile response and lateral load capacity were investigated. Additionally, the apparatus was modified to apply cyclic lateral loading, with which a series of model tests were conducted on piles in dry sand under static and cyclic loadings. Analyses of the test results show that the cyclic load level has a greater impact on the pile behaviour than the number of cycles. It is noted that the gradient of the limiting force profile will decrease and the modulus of subgrade reaction will increase, after a number of unloading and reloading cycles. The induced maximum bending moment can be estimated from the applied lateral load, eccentricity of the load, and the depth at which the maximum bending moment occurs.
