Ground Vibration Isolation of Multiple Scattering by Using Rows of Tubular Piles as Barriers

الملخص EN

A new formal solution for the multiple scattering of plane harmonic waves by a group of arbitrary configuration tubular piles in an elastic total space is derived.

Each order of scattering satisfies prescribed boundary conditions at the interface of tubular piles, which is delivered as the sum of incident and scattering waves.

The first order performs the scattering wave by each scattered pile and the subsequent orders resulted from the excitation of each pile of first order of scattering from the remaining tubular piles.

Advanced scattering orders can be regarded as the same manners.

Several series of scattering coefficients are figured out with the aids of addition theorem so that the exact steady-state solution for the scattered displacement and stress is obtained.

Particularly, when internal diameter of tubular piles tends to be infinitely small, it degenerates to a solid pile problem.

By imposing the normalized displacement amplitudes and transmissibility indices, the influences of specific parameters such as scattering orders, internal and external diameter ratio of piles, pile material rigidity, position and distances between tubular pile and pile rows, and pile numbers are discussed.

Certain recommended conclusions have been drawn as the guidelines of practical engineering design for discontinuous barrier of tubular piles.
