Analysis of Horizontal Dynamic Response of a Single Pile in Layered Foundations Based on the Timoshenko–Pasternak Model by Jie Jiang, Wencheng Chai

“…The results show that (1) the pile bottom boundary condition and pile length have almost no effect on the pile top impedance after the single pile reaches the critical value of the length-to-diameter ratio. (2) The trend of pile top impedance becomes increasingly evident with increasing dimensionless frequency. (3) The pile top impedance increases with the decrease in the pile-soil elastic modulus ratio, and the changing trend becomes increasingly apparent; meanwhile, the influence of the elastic modulus of the surface soil on the pile top impedance is much more significant than the influence of the underlying soil on it.…”
