Modelling of single pile-soil interaction using Ruaumoko

Modelling of single pile-soil interaction using Ruaumoko

A model was developed to represent single piles embedded in cohesive soil deposits using the Ruaumoko analysis program, utilizing the available capabilities and modifications of existing elements. The non-linearity of both the soil and the pile was able to be represented within the model in order…

Earthquake response of shallow foundations with low vertical gravity load

Earthquake response of shallow foundations with low vertical gravity load

This paper presents the development and response of a Ruaumoko model for the representation of uplift and reattachment of a shallow foundation. The vertical load in the foundation is used to control the characteristics of moment and shear loads, as these values must reduce to zero when…
