Abstract:
In order to study the seismic performance of the rigid pile composite foundation, a three-dimensional finite element analysis of the seismic response of the rigid pile composite foundation with microprobe group was proposed. The three-dimensional finite element method is used to analyze the dynamic response law of pile group rigid pile composite foundation under the action of the earthquake, especially the internal force response of the pile body. It is worth noting that when the internal force response of pile decreases significantly, the maximum internal force of the whole pile is also significantly smaller than the maximum internal force of pile foundation. However, when the pile body is located on a layered foundation and the modulus of adjacent soil layers differs greatly, the earthquake action will cause the pile body to generate a large internal force. The seismic performance of the rigid pile composite foundation is feasible, and it can be extended and applied to the similar seismic performance test of other composite foundations.
