One of the significant effects of considering soil-structure interaction in the analysis of structures is the increase in
the fundamental natural period compared to the fundamental natural period of a similar structure, fixed at the base. Applied
Technology Council (ATC) originally set forth some provisions to calculate the fundamental natural period of flexible based
structures using the period of a similar structure, fixed at the base, and lateral and rocking stiffness coefficients of the
foundation. These provisions became the basis of current soil-structure interaction recommendations in several building codes.
The fundamental natural periods of structures founded on different types of foundations computed using recommendations of
the ATC are compared with those computed using a simplified model to perform soil-structure interaction of shear-type structures.
Results show that the provisions given in ATC may be used for structures supported on shallow footings but may not be applicable
for structures supported on pile foundations or foundations having the ratio of lateral to rotational stiffness coefficients
different from those of shallow foundations. An equation, similar to the equation recommended by ATC, is presented to estimate
the fundamental natural period of structures supported on pile foundations.

The effectiveness and accuracy of the superposition method in assessing the dynamic stiffness and damping coefficients (impedance functions) of embedded footings supported by vertical piles in homogeneous viscoelastic soil is addressed. To this end, the impedances of piled embedded footings are compared to those obtained by superposing the impedance functions of the corresponding pile groups and embedded footings treated separately, with the magnitude of the relative average differences being around 10–30%. The results are presented in a set of dimensionless graphs and simple expressions that can be used to estimate the dynamic stiffness and damping of piled embedded footings, provided that the impedance functions of the two individual components are known. This is precisely the reason why the superposition approach studied here is appealing, because such impedance functions for both embedded footings and pile groups are available for a wide range of cases. How to estimate the kinematic response functions of the system when those of the individual components are known is also discussed. To address the problem, parametric analyses performed using a 3D frequency‐domain elastodynamic BEM‐FEM formulation are presented for different pile–soil stiffness contrasts, embedment depths, pile‐to‐pile separations and excitation frequencies. Vertical, horizontal, rocking, and cross‐coupled horizontal‐rocking impedance functions, together with translational and rotational kinematic response functions, are discussed. The results suggest that the superposition concept, in conjunction with a correction strategy as that presented herein, can be employed in geotechnical design. For kinematic effects, the response functions of the embedded footing are found to provide reasonable estimates of the system's behaviour. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The subject paper1 details finite element analyses of underreamed footings installed at the tips of deeply embedded pipe piles. The analysis model incorporated a double-hardening constitutive law and was calibrated using extensive field and laboratory test results. The results of the study were used to judge the relative effects of various aspects of the design, such as partial drainage and layering. Ultimately, this analysis was used to assess the adequacy of the footings as a remedial strengthening measure for a major offshore platform. 相似文献

Design charts that enable quick determination of the probability distribution parameters related to the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations resting on (c = 0) soils are developed. These charts are intended to assist foundation designers and analysts in studying the reliability of structures as related to the capacity of the foundation system. The approach presented herein provides a more reliable alternative to foundation design and analysis than the current conventional design procedure which employs the assumption of an appropriate factor-of-safety. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998 相似文献

A finite element approach is presented to determine the bearing capacity of shallow footings on silica sand deposits. The approach can take into account the effects of relative density and stress level on the shear strength of granular soil and is applicable to a fairly large effective stress range. The strength of sand is characterized by a non-linear Mohr–Coulomb criterion which depends on maximum and critical friction angles, widely used parameters in engineering practice. The results of analysis indicate that this approach yields reliable predictions of bearing capacity and, in particular, it can model the volumetric behaviour of the soil at failure. 相似文献

This paper focuses on the effective utilization of pond ash, as foundation medium. A series of laboratory model tests have
been carried out using square, rectangular and strip footings on pond ash. The effects of dry density, degree of saturation
of pond ash, size and shape of footing on ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations are presented in this paper. Local
shear failure of a square footing on pond ash at 37% moisture content (optimum moisture content) is observed up to the values
of dry density 11.20 kN/m3 and general shear failure takes place at the values of dry density 11.48 kN/m3 and 11.70 kN/m3. Effects of degree of saturation on ultimate bearing capacity were studied. Experimental results show that degree of saturation
significantly affects the ultimate bearing capacity of strip footing. The effect of footing length to width ratio (L/B), on increase in ultimate bearing capacity of pond ash, is insignificant for L/B ≥ 10 in case of rectangular footings. The effects of size of footing on ultimate bearing capacity for all shapes of footings
viz., square, rectangular and strip footings are highlighted. 相似文献

由多个分离基础组成的多基础系统是常用的海洋结构基础型式。基于破坏包络面理论,分析了砂土地基多基础系统的失效模式,建立了相应的承载力计算方法,并验证了计算方法的可行性。对比分析了单一基础和多基础系统不同荷载路径下的荷载安全系数,探讨了破坏包络面理论与分项系数法相结合的基础承载力计算方法。失效模式的分析表明,由于水平荷载的增大,四腿平台结构迎浪侧基础首先到达破坏包络线,其失效模式属于滑动失稳,但由于基础间的运动约束,其并不会出现真正的滑移破坏。随着水平荷载进一步地增大,迎浪侧基础承担的水平和竖向荷载不断减小,导致背浪侧基础受到不断增大的荷载。最终,背浪侧基础也到达破坏包络线,多基础系统失效。分析表明,荷载路径对基础的荷载安全系数有决定性的影响,计算基础的荷载安全系数需指明相应的荷载路径。鉴于破坏包络面的大小和形状取决于众多因素,基础设计时需采用特定工况下的破坏包络面进行承载力计算。 相似文献

Analysis based on Discrete Element Method (DEM) is presented for estimating bearing capacity of foundations. Soil mass in the present model is treated as comprising of blocks which are connected by elasto-plastic Winkler-springs. By considering the conditions of compatibility, the boundary stresses on the failure surface and the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations can be obtained. The computed boundary stresses from the present method satisfy equilibrium conditions and do not exceed the material strength. Formulation of the method is presented. Examples are shown to demonstrate the applicability of the method to the analysis of bearing capacity of shallow foundations. Effects of stiffness of Winkler-springs and mesh pattern on the computed results are investigated. The present method is shown to be a useful tool for analyzing bearing capacity of foundations with unusual geometry and loading conditions. 相似文献

The presence of underground voids has an adverse influence on the performance of shallow foundations. In this study, the bearing capacity and failure mechanism of footings placed on cohesive-frictional soils with voids are evaluated using discontinuity layout optimization. By introducing a reduction coefficient, a set of design charts that can be directly applied to the classical bearing capacity formulation is presented. The results indicate that the undrained bearing capacity with voids is sensitive to soil weight and cohesion, as both the bearing capacity and stability issues exist in the problem. The failure mechanism is directly related to a variety of soil properties, the locations of single voids, and the horizontal distance between two voids. The presence of voids has a more dominant effect on c–φ soils compared to that on undrained soil. An interpretation of the critical and adverse locations for single-void and dual-void cases with various soil strengths is presented. 相似文献

The limit analysis method has been widely used in the stability analysis of geotechnical problems including the bearing capacity of foundations. Two main approaches have been followed in the limit analysis to improve the calculation of the bearing capacity of foundations. One approach is to combine limit analysis with the finite element method and linear/nonlinear programming. The other is to use a multi-rigid-block mechanism to obtain an upper-bound solution. In this paper, the multi-rigid-block upper-bound method with a modified failure mechanism from that of Florkiewicz [Florkiewicz A. Upper bound to bearing capacity of layered soils. Can Geotech J 1989;26(4):730–6.] was employed to calculate the bearing capacity of foundations. Attention was paid particularly to the bearing capacity of strip footings over a two-layered soil. In order to verify the effectiveness of the modified mechanism, comparisons were made with other well-known solutions. The results showed improvements over the best available multi-rigid-block upper-bound solutions given by Michalowski and Shi [Michalowski RL, Shi L. Bearing capacity of footings over two-layer foundation soils. J Geotech Eng ASCE 1995;121(5):421–8.], and fair consistence with the results from the finite element limit analysis in Shiau et al.

Occurrence of liquefaction in saturated sand deposits underlying foundation of structure can cause a wide range of structural damages starting from minor settlement, and ending to general failure due to loss of bearing capacity. If the bearing capacity failure is not the problem, reliable estimation of the liquefaction-induced settlement will be of prime importance in assessment of the overall performance of the structure. Currently, there are few procedures with limited application in practice for estimation of settlement of foundations on liquefied ground. Therefore, development of a general relationship is important from the practical viewpoint. In this paper, the dynamic response of shallow foundations on liquefied soils is studied using a 3D fully coupled dynamic analysis. For verification of the numerical model, simulation of a centrifuge experiment is carried out and the analysis results are compared with the experimental measurements. The results of centrifuge experiment are taken from the literature for the purpose of comparison and the experiment has not been performed by the authors. After verification of the numerical model, a practical relationship for estimation of liquefaction-induced settlement of rigid footings on homogeneous loose to medium fine sand is proposed based on the results of a comprehensive parametric study. In the interpretation process, the soil layer thickness in which the liquefaction takes place is found to be a key parameter, since by normalization with respect to this parameter, effects of a number of other parameters can be eliminated. 相似文献

The bearing capacity of shallow foundations in a non-homogeneous soil profile has been a challenging task in geotechnical
engineering. In this paper, a limit equilibrium method is used for calculating bearing capacity factors of shallow foundations
constructed on a two-layered granular soil profile. The main objective has been to determine the ultimate bearing capacity
computed from equivalent bearing capacity factors Nq and Nγ and comparing that with numerical analysis using finite element methods. It will be shown that the data obtained form the
developed method are well comparable with those obtained from FE approach, specially when the difference between shear strength
parameters of layers is low which is a practical case for sedimentary soil profiles and also for artificially compacted soils.
A computer program has been developed to investigate the influence of various parameters on bearing capacity factors. 相似文献

Support vector machine applied to settlement of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
The determination of settlement of shallow foundations on cohesionless soil is an important task in geotechnical engineering. Available methods for the determination of settlement are not reliable. In this study, the support vector machine (SVM), a novel type of learning algorithm based on statistical theory, has been used to predict the settlement of shallow foundations on cohesionless soil. SVM uses a regression technique by introducing an ε – insensitive loss function. A thorough sensitive analysis has been made to ascertain which parameters are having maximum influence on settlement. The study shows that SVM has the potential to be a useful and practical tool for prediction of settlement of shallow foundation on cohesionless soil. 相似文献

Trees growing close to buildings in urban landscapes may change the soil moisture around foundations, producing shrinkage and swelling. This paper presents a numerical solver to estimate the movements resulting from these volumetric strains. This tool will be of assistance in both designing the footings of new buildings and in the analysis of damage associated with buildings that have already been constructed. The conceptual model used is based on current knowledge of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. Its numerical implementation is simple, making it easy for users to make changes as they see fit. The program has been verified, validated, and applied in a real stabilization problem. 相似文献

Design of shallow foundations relies on bearing capacity values calculated using procedures that are based in part on solutions obtained using the method of characteristics, which assumes a soil following an associated flow rule. In this paper, we use the finite element method to determine the vertical bearing capacity of strip and circular footings resting on a sand layer. Analyses were performed using an elastic–perfectly plastic Mohr–Coulomb constitutive model. To investigate the effect of dilatancy angle on the footing bearing capacity, two series of analyses were performed, one using an associated flow rule and one using a non-associated flow rule. The study focuses on the values of the bearing capacity factors Nq and Nγ and of the shape factors sq and sγ for circular footings. Relationships for these factors that are valid for realistic pairs of friction angle and dilatancy angle values are also proposed. 相似文献

The results of centrifuge modeling of surface footings on a sand layer underlain by a rigid base are presented. The primary
objective was to investigate the effect of sand layer thickness on the ultimate bearing capacity. The relative density of
the sand layer and shapes of the model footings were also varied in the test program. The data indicate that prototype size
footings are likely to experience local shear failure rather than general shear type failure. The observed values of the bearing
capacity are compared with the predictions based on the Mandel and Salencon (1972) theory. It is concluded that theoretical
predictions are conservative in relation to the experimental bearing capacity values, if appropriate values of mobilized angles
of friction are used.

This paper adopts an upper bound procedure using the cell-based smoothed finite element method (CS-FEM) to estimate the seismic bearing capacity of shallow strip footings, focussing on seismic soil-structure interactions. In simulations, soil behaviour is assumed as the Mohr–Coulomb material, and increment of plasticity deformation obeys the associated flow rule. The first step of the numerical procedure involves approximating the kinematically admissible displacement fields using the cell-based smoothed finite element method, while the second relates to the establishments of the optimization problem as the conic programming. The inclusion of seismic conditions in the simulations was made using the pseudo-static approach. Initially, three seismic bearing capacity factors were resolved for both smooth and rough foundations by including horizontal and vertical inertia forces caused by the soil weight, the superstructure and the surcharge in the analyses. All seismic bearing capacity components obtained are in excellent agreement with those obtained using the method of characteristics and other finite element analyses. Subsequently, the reduction coefficients that correlate static and seismic bearing capacity factors were computed to facilitate the seismic design of the foundation.

Ring footings are widely used to support structures like silos and storage tanks. Analytical design of safe and economical shallow footings requires the knowledge of the bearing capacity factors N’c and N’γ. The geotechnical design Eurocode 7 provides such factors only for simple geometric shapes like squares, circles or rectangles. Furthermore the N’γ factor has been extensively carried out but the research on the N’c factor hasn’t yet been performed. Thus, the present study aims to provide the first numerical N’c values of a ring footing laying on general c-φ Mohr-Coulomb soil. The results, carried out by using FLAC code, indicate that for rough footings there is an optimal ring which is also dependent of the friction φ. The optimal value of ri/r0 is found to be almost equal to 0.26, 0.33 and 0.46 corresponding respectively to a low, medium and high friction soil. The results also indicate that the soil dilation angle influences the value of N’c when the soil displays high non-associativity for large internal friction angle values. The computational results are presented in the form of design tables and graphs, and compared with previous published results available in the literature. 相似文献
