This document discusses the dynamic response of shallow foundations on reinforced soil with rigid inclusions through a 3D numerical study. It compares the dynamic response of different foundation configurations, including those with rigid inclusions, piles, and transfer platforms. The study examines effects of inertial forces, kinematic interaction, and configurations of rigid inclusion properties.

Overview
Introduction
The soil reinforcement technique using rigid inclusions is a practical, economical and time
saving solution that allows the use of shallow foundations on soft soils.
The load transfer from the structure to the rigid inclusion reinforced soil is carried out via
the load transfer platform as well as by the negative shaft skin friction.
A particular aspect of the dynamic response is the fact that the piles representing the rigid
inclusions are disconnected from the supported structure. This is of obvious interest under
seismic action.
Superposition theorem and substructuring approach

• Decomposition of the SSI problem;


• Resolution by substructuring approach with a 3D model;
• Rigid inclusions modelled explicitly by beam elements;
• Nonlinear behavior of soil represented by a viscoelastic equivalent
linear model compatible with the seismic distortion level.
