Abstract:Research with emphasis on comparative analysis between experimental models versus numerical models in pile caps tend to present discrepancies in stiffness between models. The present paper numerically analyzes pile caps on two piles, emphasizing parameters that have direct influence on the responses of the simulated models, especially in terms of stiffness. Among the parameters evaluated in this paper, we note the following: boundary conditions applied to the base of the piles; the use of interface elements in… Show more
