Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of geotechnical engineering, and relates to a method and system for analyzing the seismic response of pile foundations applicable to liquefied sites. Background Art
[0002] As an important form of deep foundation, pile foundations are widely used in projects such as buildings, factories, bridges, seaport terminals, oil production platforms, and nuclear power plants. Because pile foundations have characteristics such as large bearing capacity, good stability, and small settlement value, they can better adapt to various geological conditions and load conditions. Under seismic action, the pile foundations in liquefied soil layers will produce complex dynamic responses. Under seismic action, the pile foundations in liquefied soil layers will not only cause the pile foundations to become unstable and damaged due to the reduction of the stiffness of the liquefied soil, but also the lateral expansion of the soil and the inertial force of the superstructure caused by the earthquake will jointly cause excessive bending stress in the pile body and result in strength failure. Therefore, it is crucial to accurately analyze and predict the dynamic response of pile foundations.
[0003] In the prior art, due to the lack of effective theoretical analysis means and calculation methods, it often relies on static models or simplified dynamic models, and these methods usually ignore the nonlinear properties of the soil and the interaction between soil layers. In addition, many methods fail to effectively consider the complex behavior of liquefied soil layers under dynamic loads, so it may lead to underestimation or overestimation of the performance of pile foundations in practical engineering applications.

[0049] The following will further elaborate on the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, which are explanations of the present invention rather than limitations.
[0050] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0051] 1. Please refer to Figure 1 , in the specific embodiment of the present invention, a pile foundation seismic response analysis method applicable to liquefied sites is provided, including the following steps:
[0052] Determine the boundary conditions based on the characteristics of pile-soil interaction and the physical characteristics of the boundary;
[0053] Regard the liquefied soil layer as a viscous compressible fluid, establish the control equation of the liquefied soil layer based on the potential flow theory, and finally obtain the dynamic pressure acting on the unit pile length of the pile foundation according to the boundary conditions;
[0054] In the liquefied soil layer, the pile foundation is mainly affected by dynamic pressure. Therefore, based on the dynamic pressure acting on the pile foundation in the liquefied soil layer and the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, establish the equilibrium equation of the pile foundation in the liquefied soil layer, and finally represent the relationship between the dynamic response of the pile foundation in the liquefied soil layer, the vector of undetermined coefficients, and the transformation matrix in the form of a matrix;
[0055] Based on Biot's dynamic consolidation theory, establish the control equation of the non-liquefied soil layer, decouple the control equation of the non-liquefied soil layer by using the Helmholtz decomposition theorem and Fourier series expansion, and then determine the potential function and Fourier coefficients according to the boundary conditions to obtain the displacement and stress of the soil. Integrate the stress acting on the pile body by the soil to obtain the lateral resistance, and finally divide the lateral resistance by the pile body displacement to obtain the lateral impedance coefficient of the non-liquefied soil layer;
[0056] In the non-liquefied soil layer, based on the lateral impedance coefficient obtained in the non-liquefied soil layer and the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, establish the equilibrium equation of the pile foundation in the non-liquefied soil layer, and finally represent the relationship between the dynamic response of the pile foundation in the non-liquefied soil layer, the vector of undetermined coefficients, and the transformation matrix in the form of a matrix;
[0057] In order to make the dynamic response between the two pile segments show continuity, it is necessary to represent the correlation between the vectors of undetermined coefficients in the liquefied soil layer and the non-liquefied soil layer based on the transfer matrix method. Finally, couple the dynamic response of the pile foundation in the liquefied soil layer with the dynamic response in the non-liquefied soil layer to obtain the lateral response of the pile foundation;
[0058] The lateral response of the pile foundation obtained from the pile-soil interaction will obtain the dynamic response generated by elastic vibration under the action of SH waves transmitted from the bedrock. The soil layer without piles will obtain the dynamic response generated by rigid body motion under the action of SH waves. In order to show the continuity of these two dynamic responses, the transfer matrix method is used to represent the correlation between the undetermined coefficient vectors of elastic vibration and rigid body motion. Finally, by coupling these two dynamic responses, the seismic response of the pile foundation can be obtained.
[0059] The specific process is as follows:
[0060] 2. Determine the boundary conditions based on the characteristics of the pile-soil interaction and the physical characteristics of the boundary. Specifically:
[0061] Due to the neglect of the gravity effect, the surface of the liquefied soil layer is free, and the potential function at the interface between the liquefied layer and the non-liquefied layer remains unchanged. This interface is equivalent to the bottom of the liquefied layer:
[0062]
[0063] In the formula: φ is the potential function of the liquefied soil layer, and z is the depth of the pile foundation in the liquefied soil layer;
[0064] (2) The liquefied layer and the non-liquefied layer at infinity are stationary:
[0065]
[0066] In the formula: and are the radial and tangential vibration displacements of the soil skeleton respectively, and are the radial and tangential vibration displacements of the pore fluid related to the soil skeleton respectively;
[0067] (3) The displacement of the non-liquefied soil layer at its interface with the rigid bedrock is zero:
[0068]
[0069] In the formula: are the radial and tangential vibration displacements of the soil skeleton respectively, are the radial and tangential vibration displacements of the pore fluid related to the soil skeleton respectively. H1 refers to the depth of the liquefied soil layer, and H2 refers to the depth of the non-liquefied soil layer;
[0070] (4) The potential function and the dynamic pressure p at the interface between the pile and the liquefied soil layer satisfy:
[0071]
[0072] where: \(i = \sqrt{-1}\), \(\rho_{l}\) represents the density of liquefied soil, represents the lateral displacement of the pile foundation in the liquefied soil layer.
[0073] (5) The interface between the pile and the non-liquefied soil layer satisfies the conditions of perfect contact and impermeability:
[0074]
[0075] where: and are the radial and tangential vibration displacements of the soil skeleton respectively, \(u\) represents the lateral displacement of the pile foundation in the non-liquefied soil layer, and are the radial and tangential vibration displacements of the pore fluid related to the soil skeleton respectively;
[0076] 2.1 Governing equations of liquefied soil layer
[0077] The liquefied soil layer is regarded as a viscous compressible fluid, and the governing equations of the liquefied soil layer for fluid motion in cylindrical coordinates are derived based on the potential flow theory as follows:
[0078]
[0079] where, \(k=\omega / C\) represents the compression wave number, \(\omega\) represents the excitation frequency, represents the propagation speed of the compression wave in the liquefied soil layer, \(\rho\) l represents the density of liquefied soil, \(\lambda\) l represents the Lame modulus of liquefied soil. For a linear elastic medium, the Lame modulus is usually a real number, and \(\varphi\) is the potential function of the liquefied soil layer.
[0080] However, for a liquefied soil layer similar to a viscous fluid, its Lame modulus must be expressed in complex form.
[0081] Therefore, the hysteretic damping ratio \(\zeta\) is adopted, and its complex corresponding is used to replace the real Lame modulus and is defined as follows:
[0082]
[0083] where, \(\eta = \omega H_{1} / C\) is the dimensionless frequency, \(i=\sqrt{-1}\). This equivalent of the viscous fluid dissipation behavior simplifies the actual situation, but it provides a direct and effective method to simulate the energy loss caused by internal dissipation.
[0084] Substitute Equation (1) into Equation (6), and adopt the method of separation of variables, the general solution of the dynamic pressure in the liquefied soil layer can be obtained as follows:
[0085] \(\varphi(r,\theta,z)=R\) l (r)\(\Theta\) l (\(\theta\))\(Z\)l (z) (8)
[0086] Among them, the separated variable Θ l , Z l , R l can be expressed as:
[0087] Θ l ″ + n 2 Θ l =0 (9a)
[0088]
[0089]
[0090] Using the solution of formula (9), the potential function expression of the liquefied soil layer can be obtained:
[0091]
[0092] Among them, I n and K n are the first and second kind coefficients of the n-th order modified Bessel function respectively, A lm , B lm , C l , D l , E l and F l are undetermined coefficients established according to the boundary conditions. From the boundary conditions of the liquefied soil layer at infinity, the surface and the bottom in formula (1 - 2) and m = 1, 2, 3…, m represents the number of characteristic functions considered in the solution. In addition, the dynamic behavior of the pile foundation during an earthquake is axisymmetric along it, so D l =0 n = 1, and the potential function of the liquefied soil layer can be expressed as:
[0093]
[0094] Substituting the dynamic pressure expression in formula (4) into formula (11), the dynamic pressure expression acting on the pile foundation per unit pile length of the liquefied soil layer is:
[0095]
[0096] 2.2 Governing equations of non-liquefied soil layers
[0097] The governing equations of non-liquefied soil layers include the motion equilibrium of the soil skeleton and pore fluid and the seepage equilibrium, and are established based on Biot's porous elastic dynamic consolidation theory:

The compression coefficient is where K s , K f represent the bulk moduli of soil particles and pore fluid, respectively, n s represents the soil porosity. The density of the non-liquefied soil layer is expressed as ρ = (1 - n s )ρ s + n s ρ f , where ρ s and ρ f are the densities of soil particles and pore fluid, respectively; the permeability coefficient is expressed as k d , and g represents the acceleration due to gravity.
[0101] According to the Helmholtz velocity decomposition theorem, four potential functions are introduced to decouple the above control equations of the non-liquefied soil layer:
[0102]
[0103] Substituting Equation (14) into Equation (13), the control equations can be expressed in matrix form:
[0104]
[0105] where m = 1, 2, 3…, m represents the number of eigenfunctions considered in the solution, which satisfies the boundary conditions in Equation (3).
[0106] To make the potential functions have non-zero solutions, the determinant of the matrix in Equation (15) must be equal to zero. Based on this condition, the following expressions can be obtained, which provide the decoupling formulas for the above potential functions:
[0107]
[0108] where β1, β2, and β3 are attenuation coefficients, equal to the wave numbers of the linear elastic medium:
[0109]
[0110] Among them, the calculation coefficients of the attenuation coefficients d1 and d2 can be expressed as follows:

[0115] The displacements, stresses, pore pressures of non-liquefied soil and the displacements of the pile can all be expanded into Fourier series with variable z values. The displacements of the pile can also be expanded as:

Substituting Eqs. (14) and (19) into Eq. (20), the expression of the Fourier coefficient can be obtained:
[0118]
[0119] Among them, α m1 , α m2 , α m3 are proportional parameters related to the characteristics of the non-liquefied soil layer, β m1 , β m2 , β m3 represent the Fourier coefficients of the attenuation coefficients and can be determined according to the control equation in the matrix form shown in formula (15):

[0142]
[0143] Multiply both sides of equation (28) by cos(a lm z) and integrate over the interval [-H1, 0]. Considering the orthogonality of the Fourier cosine series, the expression of the undetermined coefficient A lm can be obtained:

[0169] 3.1 Lateral Response and Seismic Response of Pile Foundations
[0170] Between two adjacent pile segments, that is, at the interface between the liquefied and non - liquefied soil layers which are coplanar, the dynamic response vectors must exhibit continuity. Therefore, the transfer matrix method can be used to obtain the correlation between these undetermined coefficient vectors U l and U s :
[0171]
[0172] In addition, the pile tip is fixed on the rigid bedrock, satisfying the hinge condition, while the pile head can translate and rotate freely. Therefore, the undetermined coefficient vector U s , can be obtained by the following formula:
[0173]
[0174] where the vector represents the boundary conditions at the pile tip and the pile head.
[0175] The incident SH - wave propagating from the rigid bedrock is simulated as a harmonic motion to analyze the seismic response of the pile in the entire frequency domain. For simplicity, the spatial variations of the free - field soil displacement in the radial and circumferential directions are ignored. Therefore, the lateral displacement field of the non - liquefied soil layer can be expressed as follows:
[0176]
[0177] where is the amplitude at the rigid bedrock, is the complex wave number of the SH - wave vertically propagating in the non - liquefied soil layer.
[0178] The seismic response of the pile is determined by the scattered wave provided by the pile - soil interaction and the lateral displacement field of the non - liquefied soil layer. Therefore, the equilibrium equation in Equation (27) can be rewritten as:
[0179]
[0180] The expression of the Fourier coefficient can be obtained according to its orthogonality:
[0181]
[0182] where,
[0183] Substituting Equation (45) into Equation (44), the vibration displacement of the pile in the non-liquefied soil layer can be written as:
[0184]
[0185] where
[0186] The seismic response of the pile consists of two parts: the dynamic response generated by elastic vibration and the dynamic response generated by rigid body motion.
[0187] The seismic response vector R s (z) and the undetermined coefficient vectors U representing elastic vibration and rigid body motion respectively s and The relationship between them can be expressed in matrix form as follows:
[0188]
[0189] By using the continuity conditions between adjacent pile segments, the correlation between the undetermined coefficient vectors U l and U s can be obtained:
[0190]
[0191] During an earthquake, the correlation between the above undetermined coefficient vectors U s and U g can be obtained through the following formula:
[0192]
[0193] where the vector represents the boundary conditions under seismic action.
