Abstract
Seismic surface waves with low frequencies results in higher effects. The aim of the utilization of seismic metamaterials is to prevent or minimize the effects of this waves particularly wide frequency ranges. This study presents the investigation of the reducing effects of seismic metamaterials composed of circular array concrete piles on surface waves. The investigation of circular array concrete piles has been carried out numerically between 5-15 Hz. The effectiveness of the periodic structure has been observed numerically for fields including metamaterials by comparing empty field. The observations have been depicted according to transmission losses for two cases by using finite element method (FEM) simulations. The wave propagation also presented at the related frequencies where the transmission losses seen. Effective dimensions of radius and length of the structures have been obtained by using parametric approach. It has been proved numerically that the suggested concrete piles reduces the hazardous effects of surface waves.
