hi, for single embedded pile case there is three different boundary conditions at the pile head : free, pinned, and fixed.
for the third case: both translation and rotation fixed (ux=uy=uz=0) as indicate in figure, i found the bending moment zero at the pile head, it's should be i found a value of bending moment in this case?
why, any suggestion, help please?
If I understand your question right, you have zero displacement and zero rotation. This means your pile has no load, causing lateral displacement, on it. If this is the case, both the bending moment and the lateral load must be zero.
thanks for your reply sir on this question.
Do you mean that I have to apply forces to the head of the pile?
I hope for more explanation.
thank you.
hi..fixed head conditions in which the displacement is uniform, you tell me the pile subjected to lateral load. I already send message to you, the reason is you have made all directional displacement is zero..this is wrong? you make in your numerical model that all top mesh node points on which all displacements are free and at the boundary edges the displacements in the respective direction is fixed i.e. in x-direction ux = 0, uy and uz is free..similarly in y direction uy = 0, ux and uz is free....ok all the best..
