Sensitivity analysis of vertically loaded pile reliability

Probabilistic Reliability Estimation of an Axially Loaded Pile

A new efficient and accurate hybrid reliability method is proposed to estimate risk of an axially loaded single pile considering pile-soil interaction effect. Uncertainties associated with all the design variables are considered appropriately. It intelligently integrates the concepts of the response surface method, the finite difference method, the first-order reliability method, and an iterati...

Reliability Based Optimal Design of Laterally Loaded Pile with Limited Residual Strain Energy Capacity

Abstract—In this study, a general approach to the reliability based limit analysis of laterally loaded piles is presented. In engineering practice the uncertainties play a very important role. The aim of this study is to evaluate the lateral load capacity of free-head and fixed-head long pile when plastic limit analysis is considered. In addition to the plastic limit analysis to control the pla...

OPTIMAL SHAKEDOWN ANALYSIS OF LATERALLY LOADED PILE WITH LIMITED RESIDUAL STRAIN ENERGY

For application of the plastic analysis and design methods the control of the plastic behaviour of the structures is an important requirement. In this study, the complementary strain energy of the residual forces is considered as an overall measure of the plastic performance of the structure. Shakedown theorem for the analysis of the plastic behaviour of the laterally loaded piles is developed ...

The Effect of a Transient Dynamic Loaded Pile on a Neihbouring Pile for Nonhomogeneous Soils

ABSTRACT This study presents an investigation of the interaction effect of one loaded pile on a neighboring pile under transient dynamic loadings. Analyses are carried for non homogeneous soils. The hybrid boundary element formulation is used to represent boundary integral representation of soil domain and pile equations represented by linear structural components. The formulation is presented ...
