Modeling and Analysis of Soil-Pile Interaction for Dynamic Loading-A Review

A significant increase in the construction of high-rise structures have been observed in the last two decades, to accommodate the growing urbanization and increasing population needs. A considerable number of these high-rise structures is pile-supported and is located in seismically active areas. This urges the need for developing improved analytical techniques for the evaluation of complex dynamic response of pile-supported high-rise structures. Dynamic analysis of a soil-pile interaction system is one of the most complex problems in the field of geotechnical engineering. It involves the detailed considerations of various simultaneously occurring and coupled phenomena including the modeling of soil-pile interaction, pile group interaction factors and inertial interactions. A clear physical insight of soil-pile-structure interaction is of primary importance for accurate prediction of the true nonlinear behavior and response of the structures subjected to dynamic loading. This article is an attempt to review some appropriate tools to model the soil-pile interaction with more emphasis on the modeling of soil media. Various approaches, their applicability, practical considerations and limitations are also discussed. The presented information is intended to assist practicing geotechnical engineers in selection of appropriate modeling scheme for research and practical design purposes.
