DYNAMIC SOIL REACTION TO AXIALLY LOADED PILES

A numerical study was performed of the dynamic soil-reaction characteristics of axially loaded single piles to find simple and accurate models for beam-on-Winkler foundation-type analyses of axially loaded single piles. The models are based on the concept of dynamic soil-reaction coefficients originally proposed for laterally loaded piles. The proposed models can be easily incorporated into both frequency- and time-domain analyses. This implies that the models can be extended to problems with nonlinear soil-pile interaction effects even though the models are based on linearly elastic soil-pile conditons. The details of the numerical analyses are described.
