Piles under Earthquake Loads
Publication: Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics IV
Abstract
Piles are preferred type of foundation for supporting structures in seismic areas. Their performance is affected by soil, pile and earthquake related parameters. In non-liquefying soils, the shear modulus may degrade and material damping may increase with increasing strain/displacement. In liquefying soils, the lateral ground displacement may lead to increased lateral loads and moments on the pile leading to pile failure in bending. The loss of lateral support can also lead to buckling type failure. These issues for pile design in seismic areas are examined.
