Based on the mixture theory and previous work, the governing equation of the rotary vibration of rigid friction pipe pile in unsaturated soil is established. The analytical solution of this equation can be used to analyze the displacements and the complex stiffness of rotary vibration. The results show that the contribution to stiffness is as follows: solid < liquid < gas; and the contribution to rotational impedance is as follows: solid > liquid > gas. In addition, when the fluid permeability coefficient decreases, the stiffness decreases and the rotational impedance increases, but the influence is not obvious (especially the gas permeability coefficient). Four different kinds of degradation problems are also presented. Relevant conclusions can provide reference for engineering application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
