Abstract
Numerical studies of surface Rayleigh wave interaction with piles using Finite Element Method are presented in this article to show the attenuation effect of such wave barrier along with the possibility to implement pile rows as a method of vibration protection of buildings and underground structures from surface waves of Rayleigh type. Spatial FE models are used to analyze the influence of pile field parameters such as pile length, pile diameter number of rows and pile spacing on vibration reduction effect of the field, with respect to the wavelength that depends on frequency characteristics of vibration loading and soil conditions. Apart from that, it is shown how additional pile rows can decrease internal forces in the piles inside the protected zone which can be important for deep foundations.
