Abstract

The frozen soil layer exhibits distinct mechanical properties compared with the unfrozen soil, leading to diverse dynamic responses of pile foundation within it under dynamic loads. Consequently, disregarding frozen soil in the seismic problem of cold region engineering is deemed unsafe. This study establishes a numerical analysis model using the OpenSees finite element analysis platform to investigate the dynamic response of the high-cap pile foundation within the frozen soil layer, this paper. The dynamic analysis is carried out by subjecting the pile foundation to varying peak ground accelerations (PGA) and different types of ground motion inputs. The PGA and response spectrum analysis of the calculated acceleration time history show that the frozen soil-unfrozen soil transition layer amplifies the dynamic response of the pile foundation. In addition, given that the Kobe waves closely match with natural frequencies of the pile-soil system, resonance occurs within the pile foundation. leading to an increase in the acceleration response spectrum value and intensification of the dynamic response of the system. Conversely, the presence of a frozen soil layer inhibits the dynamic response of the pile foundation, thereby providing protective benefits.
