Significant differences between the predicted and measured dynamic response of 3D rigid foundations on multi-layered soils in the time domain were identified due to the existence of uncertainties, which makes the issue a complicated one. In this study, a numerical method was developed to determine the dynamic responses of 3D rigid surfaces and embedded foundations of arbitrary shapes that are bonded to a multi-layered soil in the time domain. First, the dynamic stiffness matrices of the rigid foundations in the frequency domain are calculated via integral domain transformation. Secondly, a dynamic stiffness equation for rigid foundations in the time domain is established via the mixed variables formulation, which is based on the discrete dynamic stiffness matrices in the frequency domain. The proposed method can be applied to the treatment of systems with multiple degrees of freedom without losing the true information that concerns the coupling characteristics. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method for predicting the horizontal, vertical, rocking, and torsional vibrations. Further, a parametric study was carried out to provide insight into the dynamic behavior of the soil–foundation interaction (SFI) while considering soil nonhomogeneity. The results indicate that the elastic modulus of the soil has a significant impact on the dynamic responses of the rigid foundation. Finally, a numerical example of a rigid foundation resting on a six-layered, semi-infinite soil demonstrates that the proposed method can be used to deal with multi-layered media in the time domain in a relatively easy way.

An analytical solution is developed in this paper to investigate the horizontal dynamic response of a large-diameter pipe pile in viscoelastic soil layer. Potential functions are applied to decouple the governing equations of the outer and inner soil. The analytical solutions of the outer and inner soil are obtained by the method of separation of variables. The horizontal dynamic response and complex dynamic stiffnesses of the pipe pile are then obtained based on the continuity conditions between the pile and the outer and inner soil. To verify the validity of the solution, the derived solution in this study is compared with an existing solution for a solid pile. Numerical examples are presented to analyze the vibration characteristics of the pile and illustrate the effects of major parameters on the stiffness and damping properties.
