| Abstract | The structural behavior of pile groups (dolphins) is analyzed considering two types of boundary conditions. First the individual piles of the group are assumed to be rigidly embedded in the soil. In the second analysis the more realistic case is considered where the soil foundation is allowed to yield. The redistribution of forces caused by various degrees of rotational yielding of the embedded pile lengths is shown. The importance of allowing for some amount of yielding in the analysis of such a structure is thus illustrated. The matrix analysis method of analyzing structures is utilized for both the rigid and semirigid cases. In addition, the method of sections is employed on the semirigid case. Each case is then programmed for solution on a high speed digital computer. |
