3D Finite Element Analysis of Seismic Response of Rigid Pile Composite Foundation with Microprobe Group by Li Lin, Jichao Zhang, Yadong Li, Zhuwei Rao, Zheng Sen

“…The three-dimensional finite element method is used to analyze the dynamic response law of pile group rigid pile composite foundation under the action of the earthquake, especially the internal force response of the pile body. It is worth noting that when the internal force response of pile decreases significantly, the maximum internal force of the whole pile is also significantly smaller than the maximum internal force of pile foundation. …”
