Abstract
Seismic response of the pile-supported structure is strongly affected by soil–pile interaction (SPI) because the depth, properties and density of the layered soil differ for every place. In this research, a general cyclic Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation (BNWF) model was developed to account for the SPI problem's essential features, including lateral load characteristics, multilayer sandy soil density and stiffness hardening/degradation. A series of tests were conducted to develop the p-y curves (called Kh-py) considering the local sand's relative densities. Strains were measured along with the single pile model under the lateral loads. The Kh-py curve was obtained based on a hyperbolic relationship for loose and dense sandy conditions. The BNWF model was subjected to seismic motions considering the site response analysis (SRA) and the soil–pile interaction (SPI) using the Kh-py and API-py curves. The model evaluation was performed on the Jahad bridge pier located in Semnan city in Iran. The seismic motion parameters were obtained based on genetic algorithms for the attenuation relationship. The dynamic analysis results in both of the py curves indicated that the maximum response values occurred almost simultaneously. The Kh-py curve considers the sand densities effect in the failure mechanism, which is shown to yield better predictions for the SPI than the API-py curves. The API-py model's obtained maximum values were decreased by 100–300% in the Kh-py model.
