Abstract

An analytical method is presented for evaluating dynamic response of soil-pile-structure system during soil liquefaction. The method consists of a modified Penzien's model combined with an effective stress analysis for free-field soil response and a horizontal subgrade reaction model which connects free field response with pile-structure response. Shaking table tests are conducted to study the effectiveness of the proposed procedure. A model sand deposit-pile-structure system is constructed in a large container which can permit shear deformation of the soil. Soil density, pile diameter, pile rigidity, and input motion are controlling variables in the tests. Analysis is made for both liquefied and non-liquefied cases, and the results are compared with the measured values. The analytical results including the time histories of excess pore water pressures, accelerations, and displacements, and the Fourier spectra of the ground surface and the pile head, are all in good accord with the observed values, showing that the proposed analysis is effective.

Soil-Pile-Structure Interaction During Liquefaction
