Abstract
This study systematically investigates the torsional vibration characteristics of pipe piles embedded in arbitrary layered saturated soils using an additional mass model to account for soil plug effects. A coupled pile‐soil torsional vibration model is developed by integrating Biot's poroelastic theory and the additional mass model, considering viscous damping in both the pile shaft and surrounding soil. Analytical solutions for the torsional dynamic complex impedance at the pile head in the frequency domain are derived using Laplace transforms, separation of variables, and impedance function recursion. The degenerate form of the solution is validated against existing results for solid piles in saturated soils, confirming its accuracy. Parametric analyses are conducted to evaluate the effects of pile geometry, soil properties, and soil plug characteristics on the torsional dynamic stiffness and damping of the pile head, providing insights into the influence mechanisms of key factors in layered saturated soil systems.
期刊介绍:
The journal welcomes manuscripts that substantially contribute to the understanding of the complex mechanical behaviour of geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, ice, snow, and powders), through innovative experimental techniques, and/or through the development of novel numerical or hybrid experimental/numerical modelling concepts in geomechanics. Topics of interest include instabilities and localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, multi-physics and other time-dependent phenomena, micromechanics and multi-scale methods, and inverse analysis and stochastic methods. Papers related to energy and environmental issues are particularly welcome. The illustration of the proposed methods and techniques to engineering problems is encouraged. However, manuscripts dealing with applications of existing methods, or proposing incremental improvements to existing methods – in particular marginal extensions of existing analytical solutions or numerical methods – will not be considered for review.
