Abstract

This paper presents a boundary element algorithm for settlement analysis of axially loaded single piles in stratified soil deposits. The algorithm is based on the use of special Green's functions in order to evaluate displacements caused by vertical point loads applied in the interior of a multi-layered, isotropic elastic halfspace (generalized Mindlin's problem). One of the main advantages of these displacement functions is that they are determined explicitly in the spatial domain, thus not requiring any additional numerical transformations from a counterpart space. Results from some numerical examples, when compared to those obtained through other available numerical solutions, indicate that the proposed method is feasible, simple yet quite general, and it can be applied to foundation problems involving any type of soil layering.
