In this tutorial simulation end bearing capacity of a pile under rapid load in Abaqus base in the Sam Helwany book has been investigated. To model pile and soil asymmetric shell parts has been used.In geotechnical engineering, bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support the loads applied to the ground. … Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure which can be supported without failure; allowable bearing capacity is the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a factor of safety.You can see a figure of geometry at below
The pile is modeled as a elastic material with permeability and the soil as elastic plastic material(Cap plasticity) with hardening and permeability.Two step has been used. In the first step(Geo Static) the body force and gravity is applied.In the second step (Soil transient) with 10 second duration the rapid load is applied on the above surface of the pile.There is no time for soil to be drained because of the rapid load with a little time step. The mesh has great effect on the result. You can see some figures of this simulation at below
