Dynamic torsional response of an elastic pile in a radially inhomogeneous soil
AbstractSurrounding soil may be weakened or strengthened due to construction disturbance of the pile, resulting in soil properties varying gradually in the radial direction. In this paper, an analytical solution is developed to investigate the torsional vibration of an elastic pile embedded in a radially inhomogeneous soil and subjected to a time-harmonic torsional loading. The radially inhomogeneous soil is subdivided into many thin concentric annular sub-zones, with each having constant complex shear modulus in radial direction. The dynamic equilibrium equation of each sub-zone of the soil is then solved and the circumferential displacement and shear stress along the pile-soil interface are obtained by a newly developed method that enforces the continuity conditions between the two adjacent sub-zones. By virtue of the boundary and continuity conditions of the pile-soil system, the torsional impedance at the pile head is derived in an exact closed form in the frequency domain. Some numerical results are presented to study the influence of the soil layer rigidities on the vibration characteristic of the pile-soil system.
HighlightsAnalytical solutions of radially inhomogeneous soil layer under a harmonic excitation are obtained.An analytical solution of twist angle of pile is derived in frequency domain.The mechanism of composite soil layer on the pile shaft is reflected.The influence of radial inhomogeneity of soil on dynamic response of pile is analyzed.
