This paper presents a superposition method expanded for computing impedance functions (IFs) of inclined‐pile groups. Closed‐form solutions for obtaining horizontal, vertical, and rocking IFs, estimated by using pile‐to‐pile interaction factors, are proposed. IFs of solitary inclined piles, crossed IFs, and explicit incorporation of compatibility conditions for pile‐head movements are also appropriately taken into consideration. All of these factors should be known in advance and will be computed and shown for the most relevant cases. The accuracy of the proposed closed‐form solutions is verified for 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 square inclined‐pile groups embedded in an isotropic viscoelastic homogeneous half‐space soil medium, with hysteretic damping. The pile‐to‐pile interaction factors are computed by means of a three‐dimensional time‐harmonic boundary elements–finite elements coupling formulation. The results indicate that the IFs obtained from the proposed method are in good agreement with those obtained from the coupling formulation. Furthermore, crossed vertical‐rocking IFs of solitary piles need to be appropriately considered for obtaining rocking IFs when the number of piles is small.

This study presents the effects of a local nonlinearity in cohesionless soil upon the optimal radius minimizing the bending
strains of a vertical, cylindrical fixed-head pile embedded in a layered soil stratum in a soil–pile–structure system where
the kinematic interaction dominates. The seismic deformation method (SDM) with discretized numerical models is applied since
the SDM is a static numerical method that can easily consider realistic conditions of layered soil strata and the nonlinearity
of the soil. In the numerical models, the local nonlinearity of the soil in the vicinity of the pile is represented by subgrade
springs having bi-linear skeleton curves with a simple hysteretic loop. Various amplitudes of the lateral displacements of
the soil and the lateral forces at the head of the pile are considered as numerical parameters. The results of parametric
analyses reveal the presence of an optimal pile radius that locally minimizes the bending strains of the piles under strong
nonlinearity of the soil, and the optimal pile radius tends to increase as the degree of nonlinearity increases. Criteria
are presented for predicting the increment in the optimal radius of soil–pile–structure systems under strong nonlinearity
in the soil. 相似文献

It is widely known that the sensitivity ratio of Ariake marine clay increases, if the clay is leached. Therefore, it is assumed that the mechanical properties of such clay considerably change and the shear strength decreases, if it is subjected to a cyclic load as a disturbance force, like earthquakes. In the present study, dynamic deformation and strength tests, as well as consolidation tests were conducted on Ariake clay that had leached. Static shear tests were also carried out on the clay after it had been subjected to a cyclic load. The stability of man-made earth structures on Ariake clay deposits that had leached during earthquakes was investigated. Undisturbed samples of the clay sedimented in the sea area were used in all the tests. Furthermore, an earthquake-induced residual deformation analysis was also conducted on the basis of the test results described above. Consequently, the following behaviors were observed in the study. (1) When Ariake marine clay was leached, the dynamic strength decreased and the shear modulus after subjecting it to a cyclic load remarkably decreased. (2) The effect of the leaching on the behavior of Ariake clay deposits was considerable during earthquakes. 相似文献

Lumped parameter models with a so called “gyro‐mass” element (GLPMs) have been proposed recently in response to a strong demand for efficiently and accurately representing frequency‐dependent impedance functions of soil–foundation systems. Although GLPMs are considered to be powerful tools for practical applications in earthquake engineering, some problems remain. For instance, although GLPMs show fairly close agreement with the target impedance functions, the accuracy of the transfer functions and the time‐histories of dynamic responses in structural systems comprising GLPMs have never been verified. Furthermore, no assessment has been performed on how much difference appears in the accuracy of dynamic responses obtained from GLPMs and those from conventional Kelvin–Voigt models comprising a spring and a dashpot arranged in parallel with various frequency‐independent constants. Therefore, in this paper, these problems are examined using an example of 2×4 pile groups embedded in a layered soil medium, supporting a single‐degree‐of‐freedom system subjected to ground motions. The results suggest that GLPMs are a new option for highly accurate computations in evaluating the dynamic response of structural systems comprising typical pile groups, rather than conventional Kelvin–Voigt models.
