    Evaluation of the effect of soil-structure interaction on the raft of tall reinforced concrete chimneys under across wind load
    (Research Publishing Services editorial@rpsonline.com.sg, 2013) Jisha, S.V.; Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Shivashankar, R.
    A three dimensional soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis of tall reinforced concrete chimneys with piled annular raft and un-piled annular raft subjected to across wind load is carried out in the present study. Effects of SSI were evaluated using four different soil types and three different ratios of external diameter to thickness of the annular raft. The across wind load was computed according to IS:4998 (Part 1)-1992. The integrated chimney-foundation-soil system was analysed by finite element software ANSYS based on direct method of SSI assuming linear elastic behaviour. FE analyses were carried out for two cases of SSI; (I) chimney with un-piled raft and (II) chimney with piled raft. The responses in raft were evaluated for both the cases and compared to that from conventional method of analysis. It is found that due to the addition of piles, there is considerable reduction in the responses in the raft when compared to that in the un-piled raft especially for loose sand and medium sand. © © 2013 APCWE-VIII.

    Dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis of 300m tall industrial reinforced concrete chimneys on piled raft foundations
    (Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2014) Jisha, S.V.; Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Shivashankar, R.
    Soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis of 300m tall slender industrial reinforced concrete chimneys with piled raft foundation subjected to Elcentro (1940) ground motion is carried out in the present study. The transient analysis of three dimensional chimney-piled raft-soil system was conducted based on direct method of SSI using finite element method. Linear elastic material behaviour was assumed for the chimney, piled raft and soil. Parametric studies were conducted by considering different thickness of raft of piled raft foundation and different soil types to understand the significance of SSI. The time history analysis of the integrated chimney-foundation-soil was carried out with ground motion corresponding to the Imperial Valley earthquake at Elcentro (1940) with a magnitude of 7.0 and peak ground acceleration of 0.319g. The time history of acceleration was applied in the global X direction of the entire soil-structure model. The responses in terms of tangential and radial bending moments in raft, settlement of raft and tip deflection of chimney were investigated. The bending moments in raft of piled raft foundation obtained from SSI analysis were compared with that obtained from conventional analysis. It is found that the response in chimney and raft is considerably high for chimney-piled raft system resting on loose sand and it depends on the characteristics of ground motion also.

    Analysis of foundation of tall RC chimney with 3D finite element method
    (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) onlinejls@asce.org, 2014) Jisha, S.V.; Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Shivashankar, R.
    3D finite element (FE) analyses were carried out for 100-m and 400-m-high RC chimneys having piled annular raft and annular raft foundations considering the flexibility of soil subjected to across-wind load. Stiffness of supporting soil and foundation were varied to evaluate the significance of SSI. The integrated chimney-foundation-soil system was analysed by finite element software ANSYS based on direct method of SSI assuming linear elastic material behaviour. FE analyses were carried out for two cases of SSI, namely: (1) chimney with annular raft foundation, and (2) chimney with piled annular raft foundation. The responses in raft, such as bending moments and settlements, were evaluated for both cases and compared to those obtained from the conventional method of analysis of annular raft foundation. It is found that the responses in raft depend on the stiffness of the underlying soil and the stiffness of foundation. © ASCE 2014.

    (Taylor and Francis - Balkema pub.nl@tandf.co.uk, 2015) Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Jisha, S.V.; Shivashankar, R.
    The effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) was studied for tall industrial Reinforced Concrete (RC) chimneys with annular raft and piled raft under along-wind load. Effects of SSI were evaluated using three different soil types and three different thickness of the annular raft.The along-wind loadwas computed according to IS:4998 (Part 1)-1992.The integrated chimney-foundation- soil systemwas analysed by finite element software ANSYS based on direct method of SSI assuming linear elastic behaviour. FE analysis was carried out for two cases of SSI; (I) chimney with annular raft and (II) chimney with piled raft. The responses in chimney and raft were evaluated for both the cases and compared to that from conventional method. It is found that due to the addition of piles, the radial bending moment and settlement of raft are significantly reduced by more than 40%, especially for very tall chimney resting on loose sand. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

    Seismic analysis of piled raft foundations of tall chimneys considering the effect of SSI
    (Taylor and Francis - Balkema pub.nl@tandf.co.uk, 2015) Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Jisha, S.V.; Shivashankar, R.
    A direct method of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) analysis of 300m and 400m tall slender Reinforced Concrete (RC) chimneys with piled raft foundation subjected to Elcentro (1940) ground motion is carried out in the present study. The parametric studies have been conducted by taking different geometrical properties of raft of piled raft foundation and different material properties of soil stratum to understand the significance of SSI. Different responses in chimney, raft and pile are evaluated. The bending moments in raft and base moment of chimney with and without considering the SSI effect are compared. The maximum radial moment in raft of the chimney-foundation system resting on loose sand is more than that obtained from the conventional analysis whereas a reduction in tangential moment is seen when the piled raft foundation with rigid raft interacts with loose sand. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

    Effect of dynamic soil-structure interaction on raft of piled raft foundation of chimneys
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation 410 Park Avenue, 15th Floor, 287 pmb New York NY 10022, 2014) Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Jisha, S.V.; Shivashankar, R.; Narayana, S.S.
    This paper presents numerical analysis of soil-structure-interaction (SSI) of tall reinforced concrete chimneys with piled raft foundation subjected to El Centro ground motion (1940) using finite element method. Seismic analysis in time domain was performed on the basis of direct method of SSI on the three-dimensional SSI system. The chimney, foundation, and soil were assumed to be linearly elastic in the analysis. The stress resultants and settlement of raft of piled raft foundation were evaluated under different soil properties and different geometrical features of raft and chimney. Soil properties were selected based on the shear wave velocity corresponding to sand in the loose to dense range. Chimneys with different elevations of 100 m, 200m, and 400m were taken with a ratio of height to base diameter of chimney of 17. Raft of different thickness was considered to evaluate the effect of stiffness of foundation. Results were analysed to assess the significance of characteristic of the ground motion. It is found that the response in the raft depends on the different parameters of chimney, foundation, and soil. It is also found that the higher modes of SSI system are significant in determining the response in the raft. © © 2014 B. R. Jayalekshmi et al.

    3D soil–structure interaction analyses of annular raft foundation of tall RC chimneys under wind load
    (Springer, 2014) Jisha, S.V.; Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Shivashankar, R.
    Three dimensional soil–structure interaction (SSI) analyses of tall reinforced concrete chimneys with annular raft foundation subjected to wind loads are presented in this paper. Different ranges of height and slenderness ratios of the chimneys and different ratios of external diameter to thickness of the annular raft were selected for the parametric study. To understand the significance of SSI, four types of soils were considered based on the stiffness. The chimneys were assumed to be located in terrain category two and subjected to a maximum wind speed of 50 m/s as per IS:875 (Part 3)-1987. The alongwind and across-wind loads were computed according to IS:4998 (Part 1)-1992. The linear elastic behavior was assumed for the integrated chimney-foundation-soil system and it was analysed using finite element software ANSYS based on direct method of SSI. The radial and tangential moments and settlement of annular raft foundation were evaluated through SSI analysis and compared with that obtained from conventional method of analysis as per IS:11089-1984, assuming foundation system is rigid. From the analysis, it is concluded that the SSI analysis results in higher radial moments and lesser tangential moments as compared to conventional method. All these variations depend on the geometric properties of chimney and annular raft foundations. © Indian Geotechnical Society 2013.

    Wind load analysis of tall chimneys with piled raft foundation considering the flexibility of soil
    (SpringerOpen, 2015) Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Jisha, S.V.; Shivashankar, R.
    Soil–structure interaction (SSI) analysis was carried out for tall reinforced concrete chimneys with piled raft foundation subjected to wind loads. To understand the significance of SSI, four types of soil were considered based on different material properties. Chimneys of different elevations and different ratios of height to base diameter of chimney were selected for the parametric study. The thickness of raft of piled raft foundation was also varied based on different ratios of outer diameter to thickness of raft. The chimneys were assumed to be located in open terrain and subjected to a maximum wind speed of 50 m/s. The along-wind and across-wind loads were computed according to IS: 4998 (Part 1)-1992 and applied along the height of the chimney. The analysis was carried out using three-dimensional finite element technique based on the direct method of SSI. The linear elastic material behaviour was assumed for the integrated chimney–foundation–soil system. The radial and tangential moments, lateral deflection and base moment of chimney were evaluated through SSI analysis and compared with the response obtained from chimney with fixed base. The base moment of chimney considerably reduces due to the effect of SSI. It is found that the variation of different responses in chimney due to the effect of SSI depends significantly on the geometrical properties of chimney and foundations. The response variation at base for a distance of 1/40th of the height of chimney should be considered for a safe design. © 2015, The Author(s).

    Response in piled raft foundation of tall chimneys under along-wind load incorporating flexibility of soil
    (Higher Education Press, 2015) Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Jisha, S.V.; Shivashankar, R.
    The present paper deals with the numerical analysis of tall reinforced concrete chimneys with piled raft foundation subjected to along-wind loads considering the flexibility of soil. The analysis was carried out using finite element method on the basis of direct method of soil-structure interaction (SSI). The linear elastic material behavior was assumed for chimney, piled raft and soil. Four different material properties of soil stratum were selected in order to study the effect of SSI. The chimney elevation and the thickness of raft of piled raft foundation were also varied for the parametric study. The chimneys were assumed to be located in terrain category 2 and subjected to a maximum wind speed of 50 m/s as per IS:875 (Part 3)-1987. The along-wind loads were computed according to IS:4998 (Part 1)-1992. The base moments of chimney evaluated from the SSI analysis were compared with those obtained as per IS:4998 (Part 1)-1992. The tangential and radial bending moments of raft of piled raft foundation were evaluated through SSI analysis and compared with those obtained from conventional analysis as per IS:11089-1984, assuming rigidity at the base of the raft foundation. The settlements of raft of piled raft foundation, deflection of pile and moments of the pile due to interaction with different soil stratum were also evaluated. From the analysis, considerable reduction in the base moment of chimney due to the effect of SSI is observed. Higher radial moments and lower tangential moments were obtained for lower elevation chimneys with piled raft resting on loose sand when compared with conventional analysis results. The effect of SSI in the response of the pile is more significant when the structure-foundation system interacts with loose sand. © 2015, Higher Education Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

    Analysis of Foundation of Tall R/C Chimney Incorporating Flexibility of Soil
    (Springer India sanjiv.goswami@springer.co.in, 2017) Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Jisha, S.V.; Shivashankar, R.
    Three dimensional Finite Element (FE) analysis was carried out for 100 and 400 m high R/C chimneys having piled annular raft and annular raft foundations considering the flexibility of soil subjected to across-wind load. Stiffness of supporting soil and foundation were varied to evaluate the significance of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI). The integrated chimney-foundation-soil system was analysed by finite element software ANSYS based on direct method of SSI assuming linear elastic material behaviour. FE analyses were carried out for two cases of SSI namely, (1) chimney with annular raft foundation and (2) chimney with piled annular raft foundation. The responses in raft such as bending moments and settlements were evaluated for both the cases and compared to those obtained from the conventional method of analysis of annular raft foundation. It is found that the responses in raft vary considerably depending on the stiffness of the underlying soil and the stiffness of foundation. Piled raft foundations are better suited for tall chimneys to be constructed in loose or medium sand. © 2017, The Institution of Engineers (India).
