ANALYSIS-supported pile in an elastic medium

The pile is shown kneeling on

GW soil type, the soil is not cohesive, then the stiffness of
the springs which simulate the soil
triangularly distributed, the coefficient
vertical ballast Kv=17 kg/cm3 (17000 Ton/m3).

The horizontal coefficient is 50% of the vertical.

The charges are as follows:
Vu = 88.10 Ton
Hu = 7.40 Ton

Solution
1. Click on the toolbar to put units Ton-m units
2. In the File Menu, New Model, and fill as follows:
3. Chop the icon to generate the frame elements in the grids created.

4. Materials from the Set menu, choose concrete and chop Modify / Show Material to define the
properties of concrete and steel, verify that the resistance of concrete is of 280 kg/cm2 (2800
Ton/m2).
5. Go to Menu Set, Frame Sections, Add Circle, in Section Name PILOTE typing in Concrete
material, Diameter is 0.35 m.

6. Mark the two elements generated, go to the Assign menu, Fame, Section, point PILOTE,
itching OK, the above elements have been assigned PILOTE section created earlier.

7. Draw Menu, Edit Grid in Z Direction, move the grid of 37.10 to 21.15 m, and mark Glue
Box Joints to Grid Lines. Checking this option, the nodes that are 37.10 level will move
together with the 21.15 level grid.

8. Chop Mark the box icon to display Frames Labels numbering Frame elements.

9. Chop the item 3 (lower part), go to Edit Menu, Divide Frames, 10 elements:
 10. For nodes where support springs, mark items generated, and divide them again, this time in 2, go
to Edit Menu, Divide Frames, Frames Divide Into 2, Last / First 1 ratio, the ratio between the lengths
of the last first item generated is 1.

11. Mark the central node of the lower section of 1,855 m (created in step 9) on this node applies the
spring, which will have stiffness as shown in Item 10 of table below.

10 18.55 17000 8500 1.02 17337.3 8668.6

12. Assign Menu, Joint, Spring, Table Translation 1 (X axis), insert 8668.60 tons / m,
corresponding to the horizontal stiffness of the spring at level 10.
13. Repeat step 11 and 12 for the following levels by assigning the spring on the knot center of each

section.

14. You will be assigned in the bottom node of a vertical spring to take the vertical reaction, marks the

junction mentioned, menu Assign, Joint, Spring, in the Translation table 3 (Z axis), placing 17337.3

Ton / m for the vertical stiffness.

15. The loads given are past, then they can be grouped into a single load case default is static Load1.

Mark the top knot, which is where load is applied, Assign Menu, Joint Static Loads, Forces in Force

Global X log 7.40 Ton at -88.10 Force Global Z input Ton.

16. In the Analyze menu, Set Options in the chopping plane analysis icon, then OK.

17. Save the file with a name, eg pilotes. SDB analysis, then execute the

itching in program
18. To send the results of side reactions to a text file, go to Menu File, Print Output Tables; in
this box, check only Spring Force (for only displayed the results of reactions in spring) and Print
to File (for recording these results in a text format file) Press the Select Load and only signal
Load1, OK, Press the File Name, address the file location, name (Reaction pilote.txt) and click
Save, then OK.
