A New Method for Dynamic p-y Curves of Pile-Cap Structure in Layered Soil

Abstract

Lateral dynamic response of pile foundation in liquefiable soil has been one of the focal problems of the geotechnical engineering field and varieties of test methods are put forward by experts and scholars. In the dissertation, a shaking table test is based on and a new calculation method is involved too. It’s the first time that using Fiber Prague Grating (FBG) technology in the method of study on lateral dynamic response of pile foundation in liquefiable soil. Experimental results indicate that calculation by method of FBG is more accurate than that by acceleration integral method. Data processing shows that p-y curve of pile foundation in liquefiable soil can be better to indicate the actual dynamic constitutive relation, and it establishes the theoretical basis of experimental study and engineer application of pile foundation in liquefiable soil
