The Bearing Behavior of Foundation Pile Evaluated by the Mesh Free Local Petrov-Garlerkin Method
In this paper, a kind of the Mesh free method was utilized to conduct a series of computational modeling to evaluate the bearing behavior of extended-length piles. The computational program code and boundary conditions were generated based on the elastic-plastic behavior of the surrounding soil, reinforcements, and the non-continuous interface between the piles and the soil. This was then verified with the Marc (a commercial available software package) by analyzing a classical mechanics problem. Lastly, the bearing capacity and response behavior of long-length bridge pile were analyzed including the relationship between the piles length-diameter ratio, pile settlement, and the non-linear behavior of the load-settlement curve. Overall, the results indicated that the optimal length of the pile is directly related to the stiffness of the soil, i.e., the stiffer the soil, the longer the allowable pile length.
