Abstract

This paper presents a numerically efficient procedure for evaluating seismic responses of an axially loaded pile group. This procedure was used to clarify the impact on pile-group responses of employing different levels of soil-pile compatibility conditions. This study clearly demonstrated that the limitations and shortcomings of adapting relaxed soil-pile compatibility conditions are not negligible for pile groups with relatively small spacing ratios and with soil stiffnesses constant or decreasing with depth.
