Book Three dimensional Non linear Finite Element Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Clay

Download or read book Three dimensional Non linear Finite Element Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Clay written by Sujit Kumar Bhowmik and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavior of laterally loaded single piles and pile groups in fine grained soils are investigated using a non-linear finite element methodology. The purpose is to gather behavioral information that would help improve our knowledge of pile behavior and enhance the applicability of some existing methods of analysis. A three-dimensional non-linear finite element program, PILE3D, has been developed. An anisotropically hardening bounding surface plasticity model is used to model soil behavior. Behavior of soil-pile interface is modeled using thin isoparametric elements. Various geotechnical loading and boundary conditions including drained and undrained loading, water table, in-situ stresses, preconsolidation and formation of gap at the soil-pile interface, have been implemented. Two full-scale laterally loaded pile tests are analyzed using two- and three-dimensional idealizations and results are compared with observed pile behavior. Good agreement is obtained between measured and computed bending moment, soil resistance and lateral deflection along the length of the pile, load-deflection response at the pile-head and p-y curves at different depths. Influence on the behavior of the pile-soil system of flexural rigidity and diameter of the pile, shear strength, lateral pressure coefficient, friction angle and preconsolidation of the soil, and gap formation behind the pile at the soil-pile interface are investigated. Results are compared with some existing criteria for the determination of p-y curves. Effect of interaction between the individual piles in a group is studied using three different configurations: (i) an $infty$ x 1 group, (ii) a 1 x $infty$ group and (iii) an $infty$ x $infty$ group. Influence of spacing between the piles in a group is investigated. Results are compared with some existing theoretical solutions and with results of full-scale and model-scale pile load tests. Interactions factors are developed to adjust single pile p-y curves to account for group interaction.

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.

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.
