The installation process changes the state of the soil in the vicinity of a pile and therefore influences its load-displacement behaviour during the operational phase following the installation. The installation process itself and its effect on the pile behaviour under a subsequent high-cyclic loading are numerically investigated in this work. Two different installation techniques, namely impact driving and jacking, are investigated using a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian approach in combination with a hypoplastic material model. Either ideally drained or partially drained conditions are assumed. Afterwards the pile response to a high-cyclic loading with up to five million load cycles is studied using a high-cycle accumulation (HCA) model. Compared to a wished-in-place (WIP) pile, the simulations accounting for the installation process showed considerable less permanent pile displacements in case of initially medium dense sand. However, the opposite was observed in case of initially dense sand. Current practice assuming a WIP state as the starting point in numerical simulations seems thus to be conservative for initially medium dense sand but leads to an underestimation of permanent deformations for initially dense sand.
