Abstract: An analytical solution to the plane-strain axisymmetric problem of a vertically vibrating pile slice is presented, and the dynamic vertical response of piles in nonlinear soil is examined in this study. The impedance of ...

Abstract: When calculating dynamic response of embedded foundations or piles, impedances (stiffness and damping) of the adjacent soil are needed. To account approximately for soil nonlinearity under high strain, contact deficiencies ...

Abstract: The dynamic impedances of a radially inhomogeneous viscoelastic soil layer with a central hole are formulated based on a new boundary zone model with a nonreflective boundary. A parabolic variation of the medium properties ...

Abstract: Field experiments are conducted on two groups of piles supporting rigid foundations and subjected to harmonic loading. The objective is to investigate the ability of linear elastic theories of pile‐group modeling to predict ...
