A complex measuring campaign has been performed including the simultaneous measurement of vehicle, track, and soil vibrations during train runs at 16, 25, 40, 63, 80, 100, 125, 140, and 160 km/h and impulse measurements of the passenger car, three track sections, and the soil. A ballast track on the soil surface and on a concrete bridge has been investigated as well as a slab track in a tunnel. The evaluation and comparison of all these data show a generally good agreement for all components if the strong low- and high-frequency cut-off characteristics of the layered and damped soil are incorporated. There is a strong causal correlation between the vehicle and the soil by the dynamic excitation forces and a weak relation between the track and the soil by the axle-sequence spectrum of the train. However, the similarity between the axle-impulse spectrum observed at the track and the spectra of the ground vibration leads to the special excitation component of “scattered axle impulses” which is predominant at the far field points of the soil.

The pile foundation nonlinearity and its influence on the ultimate capacity of fixed platforms have not comprehensively been covered by previous researchers. In this study, the seismic behavior and capacity of a newly designed and installed Jacket Type Offshore Platform (JTOP) located in the Persian Gulf is investigated by conducting Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) using a suit of near-fault ground motions. Additionally, two modified models of the original platform are created by slightly increasing the diameter of the pile foundation and also softening the jacket part for evaluating the importance of the pile foundation and seismic soil-pile structure interaction on the dynamic characteristics of the JTOPs. Valuable discussions are provided to explore various aspects of the dynamic behavior of JTOPs by presenting individual and multirecords IDA curves using effective Engineering Demand Parameters (EDPs). Comparing the results of the three platform collapse fragility curves, it is concluded that the pile foundation plays a very important role in the dynamic response of offshore platforms and can drastically alter the ultimate strength of the platform together with its collapse capacity. It is observed that the proportional distribution of nonlinear behavior in the pile foundation and jacket part is the key factor in the enhancement of the ultimate strength of JTOPs. On the basis of the results derived from this paper, it is recommended that some basic requirements should be developed in order to ensure that the coupling ductility of pile foundation and jacket part is optimized during the design process. Furthermore, according to the findings from this study, some practice recommendations are presented to be devised within the design step.

In order to study the ground vibrations induced by high-speed train passing on viaduct, two FEM sub-models, the train-bridge-pier model and the pile foundation-soil model, are established by means of the software of ANSYS. The effectiveness of the numerical models is tested and verified by comparing with other existed results. Moreover, the influences of different train speed and the damping ratio of soil on ground vibration are analyzed.

Methods of assessing, for preliminary design purposes, the stiffness and capacity of pile foundations under seismic forces are presented. Although the main thrust of the paper is to aseismic design the methods are applicable to other forms of dynamic excitation of pile foundations. Emphasis is placed on expressions for pile stiffness and capacity in the form of simple formulae that can be incorporated into spreadsheet or similar types of software. The use of the equations is illustrated with a number of worked examples. Where possible the methods are justified by data from field testing of foundations at prototype scale.

One of the most important factors in the structure of the pile foundation in the construction of the bridge is the carrying capacity of the soil so as not to collapse. Construction of a bridge in the village of Klitik in Jombang Regency to be built due to heavy traffic volume. The foundation plan to be used is a pile foundation with a diameter of 50 cm, the problem is what is the value of carrying capacity of soil and material. The equipment used is the Dutch Cone Penetrometer with a capacity of 2.50 tons with an Adhesion Jacket Cone. The detailed specifications of this sondir are as follows: Area conus 10 cm², piston area 10 cm², coat area 100 cm², as for the results obtained The carrying capacity of the soil is 60.00 tons for a diameter of 30 cm, 81,667 tons for a diameter of 35 cm, 106,667 tons for a diameter of 40 cm, 150,000 tons for a diameter of 50 cm for material strength of 54,00 tons for a diameter of 30 cm, 73,500 tons for a diameter of 35 cm, 96,00 tons for a diameter of 40 cm, 166,666 tons for a diameter of 50 cm
