Dynamic Responses of Embedded Rock Pile Groups due to Rock Burst considering Coupled Pile-to-Pile Interaction

This note presents an analytical solution to investigate the dynamic behavior of pile groups of embedded rock due to rock burst, which takes into account the interaction between piles. The energy generated by the rock burst propagates through the soil in the form of stress waves. It is transmitted to the pile foundation through the interaction between the soil around the pile and the pile. For rock-socketed piles, the condition of pile tip fixing is considered. The horizontal dynamic response calculation model of the pile group is established, and the analytical forms of the pile group stiffness and pile group interaction factor are obtained. In addition, the effect of saturated soil parameters on the dynamic response of pile groups are discussed.
