Dynamic analysis of soil pile structure interaction in soft clay by small scale model test on shake table
Keywords:
Seismic behavior, Soil pile structure interaction (SPSI), Lateral displacement, Story drift, Small scale modelAbstract
Seismic behavior of structures built on soft soils is influenced by the soil properties and the foundation
type, where the response is significantly different from the fixed base condition owing to the interaction between the
ground and the structure. The aim of present work is to understand the behavior r of soil pile structure interaction
RCC framed low rise structure by experimental study. Two bay Ground plus 4 stories RCC framed structure is
considered for the soil pile structure interaction behavior study. Small scale model is derived, constructed and tested
in laboratory on shake table. Acceleration time history, recorded at building at Gandhidham – Kanda highway on
26th January 2001 Bhuj Earthquake, is considered as an input motion for acceleration time history of ground. Fix
based structure and Structure supported by end-bearing pile foundation of experimental results are compared.
