Abstract:A closed‐form formulation for the dynamic analysis of lateral response of floating piles in a saturated finite‐thickness soil layer is presented in this paper. Governing equations of the saturated soil are established on the basis of Biot's poroelastic theory, solution to which results in the lateral resistance of surrounding saturated soil to pile deflection. Closed‐form expressions of the lateral deformations of pile along depth and the dynamic compliances at pile head are obtained by solving a system of lin… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
