Analysis of Settlement of Group Pile Foundation in Linear Viscoelastic Soil by Long Li, Yousheng Deng

“…It is found that the pile-pile interaction factors increase with the increase of the pile-soil elastic modulus ratio and length-to-diameter ratio but decrease with the increase of the ratio of distance to diameter, and the ratio of distance to diameter has little effect on the interaction factor when pile spacing is more than 10 d (d is the diameter of the pile). The error between the field test results and computed data is 14.9%, the settlement calculated by the present method shows good agreement with the reported results, and the correlativity coefficients R2 are greater than 0.9223, which signifies that the present method is suitable for the theoretical calculation and prediction of the composite foundation settlement of linear viscoelastic soil when piles are used to strengthen the foundation. …”
