How to calculate the natural frequency of various pile group systems or natural frequency of a single pile system? Does natural frequency formula for piled raft foundation system hold good for pile group system?
For soil layers, natural frequency is calculated using the formula
fn = Vs (2n-1)/4H where, Vs is shear wave velocity of soil and H is the depth of soil layer.
However, how to calculate the natural frequency of a pile group system or a single pile system? Is there any codes available for calculation of natural frequencies like IS 1893 that gives standard formula for calculation of time period of a structure?
