Popis: The dynamic response of a tapered pile (considering its construction disturbance effect) is investigated when the tapered pile is subjected to a time-harmonic torsional loading. For most engineering conditions, the surrounding soil may be weakened or strengthened owing to the construction disturbance effect of the tapered pile, resulting in the soil becoming radially inhomogeneous. In order to consider this problem, the circumferential shear complex stiffness transfer model is proposed to simulate the radial inhomogeneity of soil. Then, the governing equations of a tapered pile-soil system subjected to torsional dynamic loading are established. By virtue of the circumferential shear complex stiffness transfer method and the impedance function transfer method, the analytical solution of torsional dynamic impedance at the head of the tapered pile is derived. Based on the presented solution, the influence of the construction disturbance effect of the surrounding soil on the torsional dynamic impedance at the...
