Dynamic response of Pile Supported Structures is highly depended on Soil Pile Structure Interaction. In this paper, by comparison of experimental and numerical dynamic responses of a prototype jacket offshore platform for both hinge based and pile supported boundary conditions, effect of soil-pile-structure interaction on dynamic characteristics of this platform is studied. Jacket and deck of a prototype platform is installed on a hinge-based case first and then platform is installed on eight skirt piles embedded on continuum monolayer sand. Dynamic characteristics of platform in term of natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal damping are compared for both cases. Effects of adding and removing vertical bracing members in top bay of jacket on dynamic characteristics of platform for both boundary conditions are also studied. Numerical simulation of responses for the studied platform is also performed for both mentioned cases using capability of ABAQUS and SACS software. The 3D model using ABAQUS software is created using solid elements for soil and beam elements for jacket, deck and pile members. Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and pile-soil interface element are used for considering nonlinear pile soil structure interaction. Simplified modeling of soil-pile-structure interaction effect is also studied using SACS software. It is observed that dynamic characteristics of the system changes significantly due to soil-pile-structure interaction. Meanwhile, both of complex and simplified (ABAQUS and SACS, respectively) models can predict this effect accurately for such platforms subjected to dynamic loading in small range of deformation.

In this study, a numerical analysis method for soil-pile interaction in frequency domain problem is presented. The total soil-pile interaction system is divided into two parts so called near field and far field. In the near field, beam elements are used for a pile and plain strain finite elements for soil. In the far field, dynamic fundamental solution for multi-layered half planes based on boundary element formulation is adopted for soil. These two fields are coupled using FE-BE coupling technique In order to verify the proposed soil-pile interaction analysis, the dynamic responses of pile on multi-layered half planes are simulated and the results are compared with the experimental results. Also, the dynamic response analyses of interface spring elements are performed. As a result, less spring stiffness makes the natural frequency decrease and the resonant amplitude increase.

In this study a numerical method for soil-pile interaction analysis buried in multi-layered half planes is presented in frequency domain using FE-BE coupling. The total soil-pile interaction system is divided into two parts so called far field and near field beam elements are used for modeling a pile and coupled with plain strain elements for soil modeling. Boundary element formulation using the multi-layered dynamic fundamental solution is adopted to the far field and coupled with near field modeled by finite elements. In order to verify the proposed soil-pile interaction analysis method the dynamic responses of a pile on multi-layered dynamic fundamental solution is adopted to the far field and coupled with near field modeled by finite elements. In order to verify the proposed soil-pile interaction analysis method the dynamic responses of a pile on multi-layered half-planes are performed and compared with experiment results. Through this developed method the dynamic response analysis of a pile buried in multi-layered half planes can be calculated effectively in frequency domain.

Based on the theory of porous media, an interaction system of a floating pile and a saturated soil in cylindrical coordinates subjected to vertical harmonic load is presented in this paper. The surrounding soil is separated into two distinct layers. The upper soil layer above the level of pile base is described as a saturated viscoelastic medium and the lower soil layer is idealized as equivalent spring-dashpot elements with complex stiffness. Considering the cylindrically symmetry and the pile-soil compatibility condition of the interaction system, a frequency-domain analytical solution for dynamic impedance of the floating pile embedded in saturated viscoelastic soil is also derived, and reduced to verify it with existing solutions. An extensive parametric analysis has been conducted to reveal the effects of the impedance of the lower soil base, the interaction coefficient and the damping coefficient of the saturated viscoelastic soil layer on the vertical vibration of the pile-soil interaction system. It is shown that the vertical dynamic impedance of the floating pile significantly depends on the real stiffness of the impedance of the lower soil base, but is less sensitive to its dynamic damping variation; the behavior of the pile in poro-visco-elastic soils is totally different with that in single-phase elastic soils due to the existence of pore liquid; the effect of the interaction coefficient of solid and liquid on the pile-soil system is limited.

말뚝의 동적거동은 말뚝과 지반 사이의 동적 상호작용에 큰 영향을 받는다. 특히, 경사지반에 설치된 말뚝은 진동방향에 따른 지반저항력 차이, 지반 변위 등에 의해 말뚝-지반 동적상호작용이 매우 복잡해진다. 본 연구에서는 건조 사질토 경사지반에 설치된 단일말뚝과 2×2 무리말뚝에 대하여 동적 원심모형실험을 수행하였다. 그리고, 말뚝과 지반 변위 사이의 위상차 및 동적 p-y 곡선 등을 산정하여 경사지반, 단일말뚝과 무리말뚝, 입력가속도 진폭 등의 조건이 말뚝-지반 동적 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지반-말뚝 사이의 운동학적 힘이 말뚝의 동적거동에 큰 영향을 주며, 동적 p-y 곡선이 지반경사, 잔류변위, 운동학적 힘의 영향 등으로 매우 복잡한 형상을 보여주는 것으로 나타났다.

An elasto-dynamic model for pile-soil-pile interaction together with a simple plate model is used in this study to assess the effect of flexible foundation slabs on the dynamic response of pile groups. To this end, different pile configurations with various slab thicknessesare considered in two soil media with low and high elastic moduli. The analyses include dynamic impedances and seismic responses of pile-group foundations. The presented results indicate that the stiffness and damping of pile foundations increase with thickness of the foundation slab; however, the results approach those for rigid slab as the slab thickness approaches twice the pile diameter for the cases considered in this study. The results also reveal that pile foundations with flexible slabs may amplify the earthquake motions by as much as 10 percent in the low to intermediate frequency ranges.

본 연구에서는 외부의 동하중에 의한 다층 지반-말뚝 상호작용계의 해석을 위한 동적 유한요소-경계요소 조합 주파수 응답해석 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 전체 상호작용계를 내부영역과 외부영역으로 나누고, 내부영역에 보요소를 도입하여 말뚝을 모형화 하고 평면변형률 요소로 모형화된 지반과 조합하였다. 말뚝머리 절점에 집중질량을 이용하여 상부구조물을 고려하므로써 전체 지반-말뚝 상호작용계의 내부영역을 형상화하였다. 외부영역에 동적 기본해를 이용한 경계요소 해석을 도입하고 유한요소로 구성된 내부영역과 조합하므로써 반무한체에 대한 방사조건을 만족시키고 내부의 복잡한 기하학적 성질과 다양한 물성의 고려가 가능한 수치해석 기법을 개발하였다. 개발된 지반-말뚝-구조물계의 상호작용 해석법에 대한 타당성을 알아보기 위해 다층반무한 지반에 근입되어진 말뚝에 조화하중을 가하여 동적 응답해석을 실시하고 기존의 연구결과 및 실험값과 비교 검증하였다. 또한 상호작용계의 주요 인자들의 변화를 통한 다양한 해석을 수행하므로써 다층 반무한 지반에 근입되어진 말뚝의 동적 특성을 고찰하였다.

In this study, a numerical method for soil-pile-structure interaction problems in multi-layered half-plane is developed. The total soil-pile-structure interaction system is divided into two parts namely, nonlinear structure part and linear soil-pile interaction parts. In the structure field, the general finite element method is introduced to solve the dynamic equation of motion for the structure. In the soil-pile structure interaction part, physical model consisting of lumped parameter, which is frequency dependent coefficient and determined by rigorous analysis method is introduced. Using proposed analysis procedure, the nonlinear behavior of structure considering soil-structure interaction can be efficiently determined in time domain and the analysis cost is dramatically reduced.

The coupled soil-pile-structure seismic response is recently in the spotlight of researchers because of its extensive applications in the different fields of engineering such as bridges, offshore platforms, wind turbines, and buildings. In this paper, a simple analytical model is developed to evaluate the dynamic performance of seismically isolated bridges considering triple interactions of soil, piles, and bridges simultaneously. Novel expressions are proposed to present the dynamic behavior of pile groups in inhomogeneous soils with various shear modulus along with depth. Both cohesive and cohesionless soil deposits can be simulated by this analytical model with a generalized function of varied shear modulus along the soil depth belonging to an inhomogeneous stratum. The methodology is discussed in detail and validated by rigorous dynamic solution of 3D continuum modeling, and time history analysis of centrifuge tests. The proposed analytical model accuracy is guaranteed by the acceptable agreement between the experimental/numerical and analytical results. A comparison of the proposed linear model results with nonlinear centrifuge tests showed that during moderate (frequent) earthquakes the relative differences in responses of the superstructure and the pile cap can be ignored. However, during strong excitations, the response calculated in the linear time history analysis is always lower than the real conditions with the nonlinear behavior of the soil-pile-bridge system. The current simple and efficient method provides the accuracy and the least computational costs in comparison to the full three-dimensional analyses.

Numerical analysis using a three dimensional finite element program(ABAQUS) is a powerful method which can evaluate the soil-pile-structure interaction under the dynamic loading and reduce the computation time significantly, but has not be widely used because modeling a soil-pile system and setting the parameter for the entire model are difficult and a three dimensional finite element program is not user friendly. However, a three dimensional finite element program is expected to be widely used because of advance in research of modeling technique and development of the modeling and visualization. In this study, ABAQUS is used to simulate the 1g shaking table model pile test, and the numerical results are compared with the 1g shaking table test results. The application about the soil stiffness and boundary condition change is estimated and then parametric study for various input acceleration amplitudes, various input frequencies, and various surcharge is carried out.
