Abstract

The results of numerical modeling of the interaction between a multi-storey building on a pile foundation and the soil base in the "Lira-SAPR" software are presented. A comparison of the stress-strain state of foundation structures was performed using different methods for determining vertical stiffness (Rz) in single-node FE 57 (this element is designed to model the behavior of a pile together with the surrounding soil, similar to FE 56, and can implement the interaction with the "SOIL" system). Piles were modeled by a chain of single-node FE 57 connected by vertical bars.


In the first variant, the calculation of the building was performed in the "Lira-SAPR" software. To determine the vertical stiffness in FE 57, a soil model with physical-mechanical characteristics was created, and layering was defined according to the engineering-geological cross-section in the "SOIL" system. The calculation of vertical stiffness took into account mutual influence and the model of the conditional foundation.


In the second variant, the determination of vertical stiffness (Rz) in FE 57 was carried out using the "Plaxis 3D" software. The overall model of above-ground structures, foundations, and all necessary loads were created in the "Lira-SAPR" software. Subsequently, an export to "Plaxis 3D" was performed, where the soil was previously modeled as a three-dimensional soil mass (with characteristics and strengths of layers similar to those created in the "SOIL" system) using the "Hardening soil" behavior model. After the import into "Plaxis 3D," the analysis of the "Soil-Foundation-Structure" system was conducted, and the obtained values of vertical stiffness (Rz) in FE 57 were exported back to "Lira-SAPR". After the export of "refined" values of vertical stiffness to "Lira-SAPR", a general static analysis and comparison of the stress-strain state of foundation structures with the first calculation variant was performed.


It was established that the vertical stiffness in
FE 57 in the first variant is higher than in the second, accordingly, the total displacements for the first variant are smaller. The importance of using the connection between "Lira-SAPR" and "Plaxis 3D" or other specialized geotechnical software complexes was demonstrated to obtain more accurate results of the interaction of the "Soil-Foundation-Structure" system due to the possibility of using nonlinear soil models to better describe the behavior of the foundation.
