Abstract

The response of a cylindrical elastic pile embedded in a homogeneous poroelastic medium and subjected to torsional loading is studied for the first time. Based on the Muki's model, the pile-porous medium system is decomposed into a fictitious pile system and an extended porous medium system. The one-dimensional, vertical, elastic pile and the three-dimensional poroelastic medium are solved, respectively. Considering the mixed boundary-value conditions at the interface of pile and soil, a Fredholm's integral equation of the second kind for the bar-force is established. The force and the displacement of the pile are calculated by applying numerical quadrature.
