Backround
Vibrations from pile installation can adversely affect nearby buildings necessitating reliable prediction methods. A fully integrated (direct) analysis modeling the pile soil and structure is often complex and computationally demanding. A multi-step (substructure) approach offers an alternative by decomposing the problem into this approach a critical step is determining the foundations impedance functions i.e. the frequency-dependent stiffness and damping characteristics that represent the soilfoundation interaction. However computing these impedance functions for different foundation types (e.g. slab on piles pile-supported slabs or spread footings) remains challenging and is the focus of this project.
Purpose
To develop and validate a methodology for calculating dynamic impedance functions for various
existing building foundation configurations subjected to pile-driving-induced vibrations.
