Numerical Modeling Creep of Two Piles Under Constant Static Loading Using ANSYS

Abstract

This presents study describes a procedure for modeling and prediction the secondary creep behavior called (Norton Law) of a two concrete structure piles under constant static loading with taking into account the soil structure interaction, during 20000 hours of vertical static loading. In this item, we have applied the Finite Element Method (FEM) based on a Model using the computer code ANSYS® 14.0 shows in equation 16 heading (Norton Law). Contact problems fall into two general classes: rigid-to-flexible and flexible-to-flexible. In general, any time a soft material comes in contact with a hard material, the problem may be assumed to be rigid-to-flexible. To model a contact problem, you first need to identify the parts to be analyzed for their possible interaction. If one of the interactions is at a point, the corresponding component of your model is a node. If one of the interactions is at a surface, the corresponding component of your model is an element. The finite element model recognizes possible contact pairs by the presence of specific contact elements. These contact elements are overlaid on the parts of the model that are being analyzed for interaction. ANSYS ® 14.0 software has been used to perform the numerical calculation in this paper
