Abstract: |
For the effective design and development of p-multipliers, 3D FE analyses are performed for
3x3, 4x4, and 5x5 vertically squared pile groups. The effect of the ratio of spacing to pile
diameter (S/D), the number of group piles, varying friction angle, and pile fixity conditions
on p-multipliers and group effect parameters are evaluated and quantified. |
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
The beam spring approach is used in the design of pile foundations. The responses show the overestimation in bending moments that result in the conservative and highly expensive design. |
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
The design firms can adopt the idea of effective design of pile foundations with the aid of 3D Finite element numerical simulations. |
How will the solution works |
We will perform 3D numerical simulations on different soil conditions and pile configurations. The equation will be proposed at the end that will help to calculate the lateral bearing capacity of pile groups rigorously. |
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
The solution differentiates in a way that we will perform 3D nonlinear finite element simulations and the proposed equation will be site-specific so that all the construction of high-rise buildings or bridges on that specific area can be accompanied by using the suggested equation. |
