Abstract
The groundwater level divides the soils into unsaturated zone and saturated zone, imposing an indispensable effect on the soil–pile interaction behavior. In this work, the groundwater level is introduced into soil–pile group interaction models for advancing the dynamic impedance research of pile groups. The motion equation of pile groups is modeled by the finite element method. The vibration solution of soils considering the groundwater level is solved via the precise integration method, which is utilized as the kernel function to construct the boundary integral equation. The coupled finite element method (FEM) and boundary element method (BEM) establishes the unsaturated soil–pile group interaction equation, which is further solved based on the soil–pile compatibility condition. After confirming the reliability of the above theory, parametric analyses are provided to discuss the effect of a series of key parameters on the impedance function of pile groups.
期刊介绍:
Acta Geotechnica is an international journal devoted to the publication and dissemination of basic and applied research in geoengineering – an interdisciplinary field dealing with geomaterials such as soils and rocks. Coverage emphasizes the interplay between geomechanical models and their engineering applications. The journal presents original research papers on fundamental concepts in geomechanics and their novel applications in geoengineering based on experimental, analytical and/or numerical approaches. The main purpose of the journal is to foster understanding of the fundamental mechanisms behind the phenomena and processes in geomaterials, from kilometer-scale problems as they occur in geoscience, and down to the nano-scale, with their potential impact on geoengineering. The journal strives to report and archive progress in the field in a timely manner, presenting research papers, review articles, short notes and letters to the editors.
