MODAL ANALYSIS OF TAPERED BEAM-COLUMN EMBEDDED IN WINKLER ELASTIC FOUNDATION

Abstract

Modal analysis of tapered piles embedded in elastic foundations is investigated. The pile is modeled via Bernoulli-Euler beam theory and discrete singular convolution is used for modeling. Some parametric results have been presented for tapered pile in elastic foundation

Keywords

• Beam-column, elastic foundation, tapered piles, discrete singular convolution
