Prediction of the settlement of a pile and assessment seismic soil-pile interaction - An analytical investigation

The pile requires to construct for enhancing the stability of skyscraper and many infrastructures subjected to the linear and nonlinear lateral loads. In this study, the settlement of the pile and prediction settlement of pile were investigated with considering apply seismic loading to the pile in two different directions independently. To minimizing the analytical process the important peaks of the seismic loadings are selected for evaluation of the soil-pile interaction and it compared to the executing the huge number of the analytical process was made in using whole seismic loading in soil-pile interaction assessment and settlement analysis. In statistical analysis, to estimate the accuracy of the analytical outcome the statistical models were applied, to assess the distribution probability of settlement concerning the probability model applied. The results show the direction of seismic loading is particularly important in settlement prediction of the pile. In the calculation settlement, the suggested analytical method minimizes the analytical process for calculation settlement of the pile. The presented method in this study can apply to many problems of nonlinear dynamics. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
