Numerical analysis of two pile caps with sockets embedded, subject the eccentric compression load

Resumen

The structural behavior of pile caps with socket embedded is modified if it is considered or not the friction between column and the socket. With intent to analyzer the behavior of the two pile caps with socket embedded, considering the friction between the column and the socket, with eccentric normal load, the numerical simulations were realized, using computer program based in the finite element method – fem. In the numerical analysis the non-linearity material was considered, also the friction between the column and the socket. It was considered perfect friction between the reinforcement concrete and the concrete of around. It was observed that the length of inlay the column inside the pile cap is preponderant factor in the structural behavior of the element analyzed.
