Modelación numérica de pilotes sometidos a carga axial pseudo –estática utilizando el programa Midas GTS NX

Abstract

This article focused on analyzing the comparison of load tests (load vs. displacement curve) of six axially loaded piles excavated and cast in situ, with respect to those numerically modeled using elasto-plastic constitutive models: Mohr Coulomb, Hardening Soil and Cam Clay, with the use of the Midas GTS NX program. The six piles to be analyzed were extracted from three articles and a thesis found in existing bibliographies on the Web, these documents have the greatest amount of information, in order to avoid obtaining geotechnical parameters from correlations. Once the necessary data and the respective correlations in terms of missing information were had, the program was entered, with the construction of the geometry and optimal meshing, it was possible to obtain the results of displacements for each load, thus achieving graphing of the curves of load versus deformation, obtaining a numerical model that adapts to the load tests tested in the field.
