Study on the seismic behavior of piled rafts and pile groups while the same amount of construction material and excavation is used in their construction, are the main objective of this research. The process where the raft interaction with soil can affect the seismic response and stress distribution is also discussed in the current study. By means, ABAQUS software was applied for the finite elem...

The purpose of this paper is to solve a class of combinatorial games consisting of one-pile counter pickup games for which the number of counters that can be removed on each successive turn changes during the play of the game. Both the minimum and the maximum number of counters that can be removed is dependent upon the move number. Also, on each move, the opposing player can block some of the m...

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 ...

This article presents a numerical model and analyses of the dynamic response structures supported by groups piles. The uses finite element discretization to represent arbitrarily-shaped structures, coupled finite-boundary scheme embedded pile group. properly takes into account energy transferred from structure piles between through soil, so that effect pile-soil-pile interaction in can be studi...

Analytical solutions are developed for harmonic wave propagation in an axially or laterally oscillating pile embedded in homogeneous soil and excited at the top. Pilesoil interaction is realistically represented through a dynamic Winkler model, the springs and dashpots of which are given values based on results of finite element analyses with the soil treated as a linear hysteretic continuum. C...

An open ended pipe pile can become plugged when sufficient frictional resistance is developed by the inner soil cylinder within the pile (soil plug), thereby preventing further intrusion of the soil into the pile. When plugging occurs in an impact driven pipe pile, a complex interaction between the pile and soil plug takes place, causing the propagating stress wave to undergo an abrupt change. ...

Received: June 12, 2017 Revised: October 24, 2017 Accepted: November 03, 2017 Abstract: Background and Objective: Prestressed high strength concrete pipe pile (PHC) shows brittle fracture when subjected to more than its own bearing capacity. Therefore, the non-prestressed steel bar is added to the PHC pipe pile, that is, the mixed reinforced pipe pile (PRC). The mechanical behavior of PRC group...
