Dynamic Interaction between the Pile Groups and Layered Poroelastic Half Space to Harmonic Axial Loads

Abstract

By using Mukis method, the dynamic interaction between the pile group and layered poroelastic half space subjected to axial harmonic loads is investigated in this study. By using Mukis method, the second kind of Fredholm integral equations describing the dynamic interaction between the layered half space and the pile group is constructed. Numerical solution of the integral equation yields the axial force, the displacement of the pile as well as the response of the layered poroelastic half space. Results of this paper are compared with known results, which shows that our solutions is in a good agreement with the known result. The numerical results of this study also demonstrate that the soil inhomogeneity has a significant influence on the response of pile group.
