1 Soil-Pile Interaction in FB-MultiPier Dr. J. Brian Anderson, P.E. Developed by: Florida Bridge Software Institute

2 Session Outline Introduce FB-MultiPier Software Identify and Discuss Soil-Pile Interaction Models Precast & Cast Insitu Axial T-Z & Q-Z Models Torsional T- Models Lateral P-Y Models Nonlinear Pile Structural Models FB-MultiPier Input and Output Example #1 Single Pile

3 FB-MultiPier Nonlinear finite element analysis program capable of analyzing multiple bridge pier structures interconnected by bridge spans. The full structure can be subject to a full array AASHTO load types in a static analysis or time varying load functions in a dynamic analysis.

4 FB-MultiPier Each pier structure is composed of pier columns and cap supported on a pile cap and piles/shafts with nonlinear soil. FB-Multipier couples nonlinear structural finite element analysis with nonlinear static soil models for axial, lateral and torsional soil behavior to provide a robust system of analysis for coupled bridge pier structures and foundation systems.

5 FB-MultiPier FB-MultiPier performs the generation of the finite element model internally given the geometric definition of the structure and foundation system as input graphically by the designer.
