Vibro-Injection Pile Installation in Sand: Part I—Interpretation as Multi-material Flow

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics ((LNACM,volume 77))

Abstract

The installation of vibro-injection piles into saturated sand has a significant impact on the surrounding soil and neighboring buildings. It is generally characterized by a multi-material flow with large material deformations, non-stationary and new material interfaces, and by the interaction of the grain skeleton and the pore water. Part 1 in this series of papers is concerned with the mathematical and physical modeling of the multi-material flow associated with vibro-injection pile installation. This model is the backbone of a new multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (MMALE) numerical method presented in Part 2.
