Response Modification Factor of Piles Installed in Permafrost Soil
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline is about 800 miles long with 420 miles of it elevated by about 78,000 support assemblies. These piles were installed into bored holes and then cemented in place with a slurry of water and sand. Once the slurry is frozen, the pile is essentially fixed into place. This projec...

The Trans-Alaska Pipeline is about 800 miles long with 420 miles of it elevated by about 78,000 support assemblies. These piles were installed into bored holes and then cemented in place with a slurry of water and sand. Once the slurry is frozen, the pile is essentially fixed into place. This project attempts to create a Response Modification Factor that will provide seismic design data for a range of piles installed in this permafrost. Because field testing of real piles is impractical at this stage, Finite Element Analysis will be used to determine the piles response to earthquakes. Part A of the project used SolidWorks Simulation to create a 3D model of the pile and its surrounding soil layers. This pile was then loaded with a cyclic loading pattern up to its yield point.
