| Abstract | |
For a more accurate analysis of the structural system, it is necessary to study the interactive behavior between the various parts that compose it, among them, there is the interaction between the foundation elements and massive soil. In this work, numerical formulations were developed for the analysis of pile-soil interaction by coupling between different numerical methods: the boundary element method, finite element method and finite difference method. Piles can be subjected to horizontal loads, vertical and moments applied on its top. In these formulations were used in addition to the displacement integral equations, the equations of their derivatives, leading to a higher degree of uniqueness but allowing the adoption of more sophisticated approaches to displacements and contact tractions along the pile. All displacements and their derivatives relating to the pile were matched with the corresponding soil. Developed formulations made due coupling between them were analyzed examples, which were compared with results obtained by other authors, demonstrating its validity. (AU) | |
