Abstract
- • The paper presents an analytical method for predicting the soil-structure interaction of axially loaded piles in sands incorporating the two-surface plasticity model. • 2-D stress–strain state of the soil-structure interface and the shear band is figured out, and 3-D elastoplastic behavior of soil around the shear band is determined. • A FEM simulation is performed with a user-defined subroutine and parametric study of the initial void ratio is conducted. The paper proposed a novel and practical analytical method for predicting the soil-structure interaction in sands. To well capture the stress softening and soil dilatancy behaviors during loading, a developed two-surface plasticity model for interface shearing is adopted to determine the 2-D stress–strain state of the soil-structure interface and the shear band, while the 3-D elastoplastic behavior of soil around the shear band is determined by another developed two-surface plasticity model for triaxial compression. Following a standardized solving procedure, the rigorous derivation for the stress–strain relationship in plastic zone is formulated as a system of first-order differential equations, which are solved as an initial value problem. Combined with the finite difference method (FDM), the load–displacement response of the axially loaded pile and the stress–strain state around the pile are presented. To verify the proposed analytical approach, a FEM simulation is performed using a user-defined subroutine. The soil with different initial void ratios ranging from very dense to loose is also modeled to demonstrate the effect of the initial void ratio on soil-structure response. The proposed analytical approach is also validated against centrifuge tests and field tests, manifesting the validity and capability of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
