Influence of the Three-Dimensional Effect of Pile-Soil System on the Vertical Dynamic Response of Large-Diameter Piles in Low-Strain Integrity Testing

The low-strain integrity testing of large-diameter piles has attracted more and more attention because of its wide application in offshore engineering, such as for wind turbines, etc. Body and Rayleigh waves generate on the top surface of large-diameter piles after the excitation load. The multi-ref...

description The low-strain integrity testing of large-diameter piles has attracted more and more attention because of its wide application in offshore engineering, such as for wind turbines, etc. Body and Rayleigh waves generate on the top surface of large-diameter piles after the excitation load. The multi-reflections of these waves from the pile side result in the obvious three-dimensional effect at the pile top. Therefore, one-dimensional wave theory is no longer suitable for interpreting the wave propagation in the pile body under vertical excitation. In this paper, based on the “pile in pile” conception, both the pile and soil were simulated using a three-dimensional continuum model, considering the vertical displacement, to investigate the influence of the three-dimensional effect of the pile-soil system on the vertical dynamic response of large-diameter piles in low-strain integrity testing. The axisymmetric solution to the three-dimensional pile-soil system was obtained, and the rationality of the proposed solution was verified by comparing it with the results of the finite element method and the results of other existing solutions. Arithmetic examples were used to describe the influence of the three-dimensional effect of the pile-soil system on the vertical dynamic response of large-diameter piles.
