Dynamic analysis of soil pile structure interaction in soft clay by small scale model test on shake table
M.E, Structural Engineering, HJD Institute of Technical Education and Research-Kera Kutch, India
ABSTRACT
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.
