Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue of Buildings, we will delve into a critical topic in building foundations: soil–structure interaction. The characteristics of soil and its interaction with structural elements play a vital role in the design and construction of buildings. This Special Issue aims to provide readers with insights into the latest research findings, engineering practices, and technological innovations in the field of soil–structure interaction.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

  1. Fundamental principles and theories of soil mechanics.
  2. Design and analysis methods for building foundations.
  3. Models and numerical simulations of soil–structure interaction.
  4. Influence of different soil types on building behavior.
  5. Analysis of soil bearing capacity, settlement, and deformation.
  6. Dynamic response and seismic engineering of soil–structure systems.
  7. Design, analysis, and construction techniques for pile foundations.
  8. Application of soil improvement techniques in soil–structure interaction.
  9. Effects of soil lateral forces on buildings and mitigation methods.
  10. Research on soil-structure interaction in underground structures.

The foundations of bridges and other tall buildings are often subjected to cyclic loads. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the mechanical properties of rock–concrete composite foundations under cyclic loads. In this paper, uniaxial cyclic loading and unloading tests were conducted on rock–concrete composite specimens using the TFD-2000 microcomputer servo-controlled rock triaxial testing machine. The stress–strain curves, elastic modulus variation, and energy dissipation were analyzed. The results showed that the stress–strain curves of composite specimens under uniaxial cyclic loading and unloading conditions formed hysteresis loops. The hysteresis loop exhibited a sparse–dense–sparse pattern under the upper stress of 27.44 MPa, which was 90% of the uniaxial strength. The elastic modulus, as well as the dissipated energy, decreased rapidly in the first few cycles and then gradually decreased at a constant rate, with the upper stress increasing to 27.44 MPa. Both the elastic modulus and the dissipated energy exhibited an accelerated stage before specimen failure. The primary failure mode of the composite specimen was split failure from concrete to sandstone. A damage variable was derived to better reflect the laws governing the damage evolution of the composite under cyclic loads. Full article

With the development of large-scale projects such as high-rise buildings, deep-sea platforms, bridges, etc., these construction facilities are affected by many factors such as environment and geological conditions, which put forward higher requirements for pile-bearing capacity. Compared with the straight-hole grouted piles, the CEP (concrete expanded-plate) piles have an increased bearing plate, which has stronger resistance to pullout under the action of axial tension. The location of the bearing plate is the main factor affecting the bearing capacity of a CEP pile. This study simulates and analyzes CEP double piles on ANSYS software (Ansys R19.0 versions) under ideal conditions, designs five types of model piles with different bearing plate positions, and divides them into six groups for simulation. Finally, a complete model of the two-pile system is established. It is obtained that when the bearing plate is in the same position, the longer the pile length above the bearing plate, the greater the ultimate bearing capacity of the CEP double piles; when the bearing plates of a double pile are at different positions, the antipull-force-bearing capacity of the double pile mainly depends on the pile with a smaller pile length above the bearing plate, and determines the calculation mode of a CEP double-pile antipull-force-bearing capacity at different bearing plate positions, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the design and application of CEP pile foundations in large building structures in the future.
