Quantification of Dynamic Properties of Pile Using Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition

Abstract EN

This paper investigated dynamical interactions between pile and frozen ground by using the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method.

Unlike the conventional empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method, EEMD is found to be able to separate the mode patterns of pile response signals of different scales without causing mode mixing.

The identified dynamic properties using the EEMD method are more accurate than those obtained from conventional methods.

EEMD-based results can be used to reliably and accurately characterize pile-frozen soil interactions and help designing infrastructure foundations under permafrost condition.
