This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical assessment of soil structure interaction problems require heavy computational efforts because of the dynamic and iterative (nonlinear) nature of the problems. Furthermore, modeling soil-structure interaction may require finer meshes in order to get reliable results. Latest computing technologies must be utilized to achieve results in reasonable run times. This book focuses on development and implantation of a parallel dynamic finite element analysis method for numerical solution of soil-structure interaction problems. For this purpose first, an extensible parallel finite element analysis library was developed. Then this library was extended with algorithms that implement the parallel dynamic solution method. Parallel dynamic solution algorithm is based on Implicit Newmark integration algorithm. This algo- rithm was parallelized using MPI (Message Passing Interface). For numerical modeling of soil material an equivalent linear material model was used. Several tests were done to benchmark and demonstrate parallel performance of implemented algorithms.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last couple of decades it has been recognized that the foundation material on which a structure is constructed may interact dynamically with the structure during its response to dynamic excitation to the extent that the stresses and deflections in the system are modified from the values that would have been developed if it had been on a rigid foundation. This phenomenon is examined in detail in the book. The basic solutions are examined in time and frequency domains and finite element and boundary element solutions compared. Experimental investigations aimed at correlation and verification with theory are described in detail. A wide variety of SSI problems may be formulated and solved approximately using simplified models in lieu of rigorous procedures; the book gives a good overview of these methods. A feature which often lacks in other texts on the subject is the way in which dynamic behavior of soil can be modeled. Two contributors have addressed this problem from the computational and physical characterization viewpoints. The book illustrates practical areas with the analysis of tunnel linings and stiffness and damping of pile groups. Finally, design code provisions and derivation of design input motions complete this thorough overview of SSI in conventional engineering practice. Taken in its entirety the book, authored by fifteen well known experts, gives an in-depth review of soil-structure interaction across a broad spectrum of aspects usually not covered in a single volume. It should be a readily useable reference for the research worker as well as the advance level practitioner. (abstract) This book treats the dynamic soil-structure interaction phenomenon across a broad spectrum of aspects ranging from basic theory, simplified and rigorous solution techniques and their comparisons as well as successes in predicting experimentally recorded measurements. Dynamic soil behavior and practical problems are given thorough coverage. It is intended to serve both as a readily understandable reference work for the researcher and the advanced-level practitioner.

Doria 6, 95125 Catania, Italy Soil-Structure Interaction is a challenging multidisciplinary subject which covers several areas of Civil Engineering. Virtually every construction is connected to the ground and the interaction between the artefact and the foundation medium may affect considerably both the superstructure and the foundation soil. The Soil-Structure Interaction problem has become an important feature of Structural Engineering with the advent of massive constructions on soft soils such as nuclear power plants, concrete and earth dams. Buildings, bridges, tunnels and underground structures may also require particular attention to be given to the problems of Soil-Structure Interaction. Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction is prominent in Earthquake Engineering problems. The complexity of the problem, due also to its multidisciplinary nature and to the fact of having to consider bounded and unbounded media of different mechanical characteristics, requires a numerical treatment for any application of engineering significance. The Boundary Element Method appears to be well suited to solve problems of Soil- Structure Interaction through its ability to discretize only the boundaries of complex and often unbounded geometries. Non-linear problems which often arise in Soil-Structure Interaction may also be treated advantageously by a judicious mix of Boundary and Finite Element discretizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book provides discussion and presents results related to some "hot topics," all dealing with the soil-structure interaction. The book can be of interest to both scientists involved in academic studies of the problems addressed and for practitioners engaged in high-level design.Chapter I reports the investigation of non-stationary wave propagation in continuously inhomogeneous cylindrical elements (such as pipelines). New results obtained by numerical analysis of non-stationary wave propagation are presented. The cases studied comprise simulations of the propagations of both one-dimensional and two-dimensional non-stationary waves. Waves of the first type are supposed to propagate in continuously inhomogeneous, linearly viscoelastic cylinders, whereas waves of the second type propagate in continuously inhomogeneous elastic cylinders. The authors of this chapter apply an original research method consisting of the implementation of solutions to dynamic problems in the study of elastic and linearly viscoelastic piecewise homogeneous bodies.Chapter II outlines an analytical study of the propagation of different types of waves (plane, cylindrical, spherical) as well as of the waves' interaction with an element of Vibro-isolation (specifically, a three-layer plate). The author also presents the numerical results of the study of the distribution of the vibration accelerations in soil.Chapter III presents details on the analytical modeling of a bearing device for passive seismic isolation (friction-pendulum system). The behavior of the slider is identical to a motion of a particle constrained to slide on a spherical surface. The analytical model includes equations of motion, derived using the Lagrange formalism and constitutive equations of the sliding interface. The author presents the results of the numerical simulation of the response of the bearing device to a seismic event, assuming a constant value of the friction coefficient.Chapter IV proposes a discussion on the assessment of the load-carrying capacity of a metal-resin anchor and the determination of dependencies between parameters of supporting systems that include anchors. The solution to the problems addressed in this study involves an accurate analysis of the load transfer mechanisms between different system components. The proposed strategy requires the implementation of an algorithm aimed at the reconstruction of the analytical form of a function, provided its tabular form is available. The authors also formulate a theorem that postulates the existence of such representation applicable in a more general context.The research object in Chapter V is the formulation of the boundary value problems for circular and annular three-layer plates subjected to axisymmetric loading. The considered plates consist of three layers: two thin bearing layers and one filler layer, with a perfect bond, assumed for all interfaces. The definition of the stress-strain state in the plates presumes that the Kirchhoff's hypotheses regarding the bearing layers and the Timoshenko's hypothesis (i.e., linear distribution of the tangential displacements over the thickness) concerning the filler layer hold. The performed analyses take into account the characteristics of the elastic (Winkler) foundation. The authors provide the obtained analytical solutions to the formulated boundary value problems. Results obtained by numerical analysis of the stress and the strain distributions for plates supported by hinges on the contour are also presented.

Book Synopsis Reliability-Based Design in Geotechnical Engineering by : Kok-Kwang Phoon
Download or read book Reliability-Based Design in Geotechnical Engineering written by Kok-Kwang Phoon and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-04-25 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliability-based design is the only engineering methodology currently available which can ensure self-consistency in both physical and probabilistic terms. It is also uniquely compatible with the theoretical basis underlying other disciplines such as structural design. It is especially relevant as geotechnical design becomes subject to increasing codification and to code harmonization across national boundaries and material types. Already some codes of practice describe the principles and requirements for safety, serviceability, and durability of structures in reliability terms. This book presents practical computational methods in concrete steps that can be followed by practitioners and students. It also provides geotechnical examples illustrating reliability analysis and design. It aims to encourage geotechnical engineers to apply reliability-based design in a realistic context that recognises the complex variabilities in geomaterials and model uncertainties arising from a profession steeped in empiricism. By focusing on learning through computations and examples, this book serves as a valuable reference for engineers and a resource for students.
Book Synopsis Reduced Order Modeling of Soil Structure Interaction Problems by : Elnaz Esmaeilzadeh Seylabi
Download or read book Reduced Order Modeling of Soil Structure Interaction Problems written by Elnaz Esmaeilzadeh Seylabi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is focused on creating the key ingredients of a numerical platform for reduced order modeling of soil structure interaction (SSI) problems. Specifically, a computer code is developed for forward simulation of wave propagation in the two-dimensional (plane-strain and axisymmetric) semi-infinite heterogeneous solid media. Perfectly matched layers (PMLs) are used for absorbing the outgoing waves. The computationally efficient symmetric hybrid PML formulation available for the plane-strain setting is extended to axisymmetric problems. The domain reduction method (DRM) is used for translation of the remote excitation within a PML-truncated medium. The methodologies are devised for using this finite element (FE) solver to (i) compute the soil impedance functions and (ii) the modified input motions (a.k.a. foundation input motion) of rigid and flexible interfaces embedded in heterogeneous half-spaces numerically. Existing semi-analytical solutions are used to verify these methods comprehensively. The verified framework is validated using data from a large-scale field test as well as centrifuge experiments. In order to demonstrate the framework's application: (i) the impedance functions and kinematic interaction transfer functions (KITFs) of a number of SSI problems---for which existing analytical solutions are limited---are computed; and (ii) the reduced order model of a buried structure in an elastic half-space is constructed. In order to avoid integro-differential equations, stable discrete-time filters are used for devising time-domain representations of the computed soil impedance matrix. The dynamic response of the resulting spatio-temporal reduced order model is compared against those obtained from solving the same problem using the direct modeling approach, and excellent agreement is observed.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic response of soil-structure systems has attracted significant attention for a long time. This is quite understandable with the size and the complexity of soil-structure systems. The focus of three important aspects of ESSI modeling could be on consistent following of input seismic energy and a number of energy dissipation mechanisms within the system, numerical techniquesused to simulate dynamics of ESSI, and influence of uncertainty of ESSI simulations. This dissertation is a contribution to development of one such tool called ESSI Simulator. The work is being done on extensive verified and validated suite for EESI Simulator. Verification and validation are important for high fidelity numerical predictions of behavior of complex systems. This simulator uses finite element method as a numerical tool to obtain solutions for large class of engineering problems such as liquefaction, earthquake-soil-structure-interaction, site effect, piles, pile group, probabilistic plasticity, stochastic elastic-plastic FEM, and detailed large scale parallel models. Response of full three-dimensional soil-structure-interaction simulation of complex structures is evaluated under the 3D wave propagation. Domain-Reduction-Method is used for applying the forces as a two-step procedure for dynamic analysis with the goal of reducing the large size computational domain. The issue of damping of the waves at the boundary of the finite element models is studied using different damping patterns. This is used at the layer of elements outside of the Domain-Reduction-Method zone in order to absorb the residual waves coming out of the boundary layer due to structural excitation. Extensive parametric study is done on dynamic soil-structure-interaction of a complex system and results of different cases in terms of soil strength and foundation embedment are compared. High efficiency set of constitutive models in terms of computational time are developed and implemented in ESSI Simulator. Efficiency is done based on simplifying the elastic-plastic stiffness tensor of the constitutive models. Almost in all the soil-structure systems, there are interface zones in contact with each other. These zones can get detached during the loading or can slip on each other. In this dissertation the frictional contact element is implemented in ESSI Simulator. Extended verification has been done on the implemented element. The interest here is the effect of slipping and gap opening at the interface of soil and concrete foundation on the soil-structure system behavior. In fact transferring the loads to structure is defined based on the contact areas which will affect the response of the system. The effect of gap openings and sliding at the interfaces are shown through application examples. In addition, dissipation of the seismic energy due to frictional sliding of the interface zones are studied. Application Programming Interface (API) and Domain Specific Language (DSL) are being developed to increase developer's and user's modeling and simulation capabilities. API describes software services developed by developers that are used by users. A domain-specific language (DSL) is a small language which usually focuses on a particular problem domain in software. In general DSL programs are translated to a common function or library which can be viewed as a tool to hide the details of the programming, and make it easier for the user to deal with the commands.
