Abstract
The second-order effect of axial force on horizontal vibrating characteristics of a large-diameter pipe pile is theoretically investigated. Governing equations of the pile-soil system are established based on elastodynamics. Three-dimensional wave equations of soil are decoupled through differential transformation and variable separation. Consequently, expressions of soil displacements and horizontal resistances can be obtained. An analytical solution of the pile is derived based on continuity conditions between the pile and soil, subsequently from which expressions of the complex impedances are deduced. Analyses are carried out to examine the second-order effect of axial force on the horizontal vibrating behavior of the pipe pile. Some conclusions can be summarized as follows: stiffness and damping factors are decreased with the application of axial force on the pile head; distributions of the pile horizontal displacement and rotation angle are regenerated due to the second-order effect of the applied axial force; and redistributions of the bending moment and shearing force occur due to the second-order effect of the applied axial force.
