Abstract:In recent years, engineering has significantly increased the use of numerical modeling, mainly applied in studies of solutions and analysis of the behavior of the soil - structure and foundation element interaction. In this sense, this paper analyzes the behavior of blocks foundations made up of one, two, three and four piles with 25 cm in diameter (d) and 5 m in length (L) and with unusual spacing between the piles, equal to 5d in a three-dimensional finite element numerical model (MEF-3D). The results of the… Show more
