Abstract:This paper focused on the dynamic analyses of the deep-water elevated pile foundation in contact with water. A simplified analysis model of the pile foundation considering the hydrodynamic effect is proposed firstly. The numerical-analytical mixed method for earthquake induced hydrodynamic added mass is provided as follows: for piles, an analytical solution based on the scale of the underwater pile is given including the effect of pile group; for cap, a simple finite element method based on the potential-based fluid formulation is developed considering the geometry and vibration periods of the cap. The proposed mixed method is applied to a 4-pile experimental specimen for the modal and time history analyses. The results are shown good satisfactory when compared to the experimental data, or to the finite element solutions and other analytical solution in the literature. The method improves the calculation accuracy and efficiency and is a valuable reference for the seismic analysis and design of the deep-water elevated pile cap foundation.
