A continuum-based model on axial pile-head dynamic impedance in inhomogeneous soil
This paper presents a closed-form solution on the steady dynamic response of circular piles embedded in inhomogeneous soil. The soil is modeled as a viscoelastic continuum, and the pile is modeled as a one-dimensional elastic shaft. Fictitious soil pile model and Hamilton’s energy principle are introduced to deduce the equations governing the layered pile–soil system. Impedance transfer method and iterative algorithm are deduced to decouple the pile–soil dynamic interaction. The results show that the modulus and thickness of inhomogeneous soil profile play a more significant role in the dynamic stiffness than the damping effects. The variation pattern of the dynamic impedance against the modulus of layered soil is dominated by the cut-off frequency. Particularly, in Gibson soil, the stiffer surface soil yields the greater pile-head stiffness. The dynamic stiffness of piles in Gibson soil could be approximated by two or more soil layers with equivalent Young’s modulus.
