This paper presents a study on three-dimensional seismic soil–structure interaction analysis of a piled-raft (PR) foundation in clay by the substructure approach. Two different pile modeling techniques were adopted and compared with centrifuge shaking table test results reported in the literature. The effect of pile spacing on dynamic impedances, kinematic response parameters, axial pile forces and bending moments of PRs is studied. It is found that the presence of a rigid raft on a pile group results in significant variation in vertical and horizontal dynamic stiffness after a dimensionless frequency ([Formula: see text] value of around 0.22. The influence of raft on kinematic response parameters at the top of raft is found to be significantly influenced by pile spacing beyond a dimensionless frequency ([Formula: see text] value of 0.4. The axial forces generated at the pile heads of a PR–structure system during seismic shaking are quantified using a new dimensionless factor, and are found to be significantly influenced by the pile spacing. Pile layout in the PR system is found to play an influential role in seismic response as well as pile bending moment for a structure–PR–soil system studied.

The joint has a significant effect on the dynamic characteristic of the mechanism, and the identification of the stiffness of the joints has become a key problem. In this paper, a method is presented for identifying the dynamic characteristic of joints. An experiment is designed to test the dynamic parameter of the bolted joints specimen; the identification method, based on experiment, has a high accuracy result. By taking a specimen to experiment and identify the dynamic characteristic of joints, the relationship between the preload on the bolts and the joints stiffness is acquired. In order to validate the accuracy of the result, the FEM software is used to simulate. There are only a small discrepancy between the results of identification and simulation.

Composites made from food packaging waste are recently introduced to the industry as promising materials that aim to reduce the environmental waste and to develop cost effective products. They possess good physical properties, which makes them potential competitors to wood based composite structures such as commercial particleboard (PB), and medium density fiberboard (MDF). Despite the expected advantages, the mechanical and dynamic behaviour of this genuine structure still needs to be studied and tested to evaluate its suitability for light weight structure applications. Experimental modal analysis is conducted on specimens made of food packaging waste, sandwich structured packaging waste with woven glass-fiber skin, MDF and PB. The dynamic testing results show superior damping ratio for the food packaging waste composites compared to the wood-based specimens. Natural frequencies exhibit comparable dynamic stiffness with respect to MDF, and PB. Further investigation has been made to evaluate both the modulus of rapture and the static stiffness of the material by conducting flexural tests on all specimens. Sandwich structure produced from food packaging waste and veneered with woven glass-fiber fabric exhibit excellent magnitudes for the modulus of rupture in addition the highest damping ratio.
