Abstract
A general picture of the current state of the art and the emerging technology for dealing effectively with the seismic design and analysis of pile foundations in liquefiable soils is presented. Two distinct design cases are considered and illustrated by case histories. One is the static response of pile foundations to the pressures and displacements caused by lateral spreading of liquefied ground. The other is the seismic response of piles to strong shaking accompanied by the development of high pore water pressures or liquefaction. Design for lateral spreading is examined in the context of developments in design practice and the findings from shake table and centrifuge tests. Response of piles to earthquake shaking in liquefiable soils is examined in the context of 1.5m cast in place reinforced concrete piles supporting a 14 storey apartment building.

Behavior of Piles in Liquefiable Soils During Earthquakes: Analysis and Design Issues
