Abstract
This study focuses on the three-dimensional (3-D) characteristics of lateral transient vibration of large diameter piles. Firstly, a 3-D pile-soil model in Cartesian coordinate system is established. Then, the governing equations are established. To eliminate the reflected waves from artificial boundaries, the second-order Higdon absorbing boundary condition is applied herein. Based on the boundary and initial conditions, the numerical solution is obtained using staggered grid finite difference method. The reliability of the numerical simulation is corroborated by comparing calculation results with measured data. It is shown that the optimal sensor location for receiving signal is the center of pile top, which is subjected to the minimum 3-D interference. Dynamic stiffness and damping at pile top are investigated by changing the parameters of pile-soil system.
