DISCRETE METHOD FOR OBTAINING VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENTS BY APPLYING DYNAMIC SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION

Abstract

This article focuses on evaluating the geotechnical behavior of a group of piles used to support a port facility. Given the importance of the work and the complexity of the acting load system, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of the dynamic soil-structure interaction, in order to obtain the stresses on the structural elements and the displacements of the piles. The dynamic soil-structure interaction is implemented for the geotechnical design of the piles, using the criteria of permissible displacements and settlements, a methodology that takes into account the deformability of the ground before static and dynamic loads. The computational modeling considered the soil-structure interaction, it was carried out in the Autodesk Robot Analysis Professional. For the determination of the soil stiffness coefficients, used in the models that consider the IDSE; the methodologies proposed by Bowles were used, the method of the Russian standard Snip 2.02.05-87 and the method of the Mexican standard NTCDS 2004. Obtaining favorable results in the use of this methodology for the IDSE.
