Abstract
The dynamic response of a pile group embedded in a layered poroelastic half space subjected to axial harmonic loads is investigated in this study. Based on Biot's theory and utilizing Muki's method, the second kind of Fredholm integral equations describing the dynamic interaction between the layered half space and the pile group is constructed. Numerical results show that in a two-layered half space, for the closely populated pile group with a rigid cap, the upper softer layer thickness has considerably different influence on the center pile and the corner piles, while for sparsely populated pile group; it has almost the same influence on all the piles.
