Cast-in-place concrete thin-wall pipe pile as barrier for vibration isolation

Abstract

Three dimensional analysis was performed by regarding vibration isolation performance cast-in-place concrete thin-wall pipe pile (PCC) and using the finite element analysis software ANSYS. The ground vertical amplitude was analyzed behind the single row cast-in-place concrete thin-wall pipe pile after the source vibration, and the influencing factors were also studied. The results indicate that in the one time of wavelength before the barrier, the oscillation amplitude is weakened; meanwhile the range which covers 4 times wavelength behind the barrier has a good vibration isolation effect, when the distance is larger than the barrier latter 4 times wavelength vibration isolation expiration.
