摘要
In seismic prone regions, analyzing loaded pile groups can be challenging because of limitations in conventional design methods and the inability of small-scale laboratory tests to accurately replicate the real behavior. Studying how pile group response is affected by the combined impact of vertical, concentric, and seismic loads is challenging. One of the limitations pertains to the intricacy of scaling up experiments, particularly in creating large-scale laboratory models. Thus, a numerical analysis may be appropriate for capturing the response. This study aimed to understand the pile group response in dense sand subjected to vertical, eccentric lateral, and seismic loadings via a large-scale 3D nonlinear finite element model. The validation results indicate that the numerical approach accurately predicts the behavior of pile groups in dense sand. Then, two different layouts of pile groups are analyzed under various loading scenarios on the basis of the recorded data from the El Centro earthquake. The results revealed that the number and arrangement of piles significantly affect the induced settlement. Compared with the 5-pile groups, the 3-pile groups presented higher maximum bending moments under vertical loading. However, the response of the 5-pile groups varied, as they experienced higher bending moment values without vertical loading. The peak lateral soil pressures were higher in the 3-pile groups. Some significant variations appeared in the induced torque resistances when the 5-pile groups were compared with the 3-pile groups. This study demonstrated the reliability of the used numerical approach for analyzing the response of pile groups in dense sand, as an alternative to laboratory test models.
