Raft Foundations

AbstractDesign and modelling of raft foundations and selecting the value of coefficient of vertical subgrade reaction are still actively discussed topics in geotechnical and structural engineering. In everyday practice, soil–structure interaction is mostly taken into account by using the theory of ‘beam on elastic foundation’, in which the soil is substituted by a certain set of coefficients of subgrade reaction. In this study, finite element analysis of a building was performed using a geotechnical software (Plaxis 3D), which is capable of modelling the subsoil as a continuum, and a structural software (Axis VM), which uses the concept of ‘beam on elastic foundation’. The evaluation of the results and recommendations for everyday engineering practice are introduced in this paper.

Shaking table test on soil-structure interaction system in harder site condition is presented briefly in this paper. Three-dimensional finite element analysis on shaking table test is carried out using ANSYS program. The surface-to-surface contact element is taken into consideration for the nonlinearity of the state of the interface of the soil-pile and an equivalent linear model is used for soil behavior. By comparing the results of the finite element analysis with the data from shaking table tests, the computational model is validated. Based on the calculation results, the paper gives the seismic responses under the consideration of soil-structure interaction in harder site condition, including acceleration response, contact analysis on soil pile interface and so on.

Elastic Soil

This paper presents a refined finite element analysis for the analysis of two-dimensional plane stress and plane strain structures with particular emphasis being placed on the ability to solve problems of soil-structure interaction under earthquake loadings. The structure and
the soil are idealized as an assemblage of quadrilateral plane stress and plane strain elements having a cubic variation in displacement enabling a more accurate representation of the stiffness properties of the system than that previously available. The response of the system to the earthquake acceleration history is achieved by a superposition of normal mode responses and the methods of obtaining the mode shapes and frequencies are outlined. Examples are presented to illustrate the capability of this approach.
