The evaluation of performance of soil-pile-structure systems under seismic loading is one of
the most complex problems in earthquake engineering. In the most common methodology …

Ground motions in real earthquakes are three-dimensional, resulting in changes not only in
shaking magnitude but also in shaking direction. Thus, soil would experience complex …

This research developed tools and procedures for evaluating the stiffness of pile foundations
in liquefiable soils during earthquakes. Previous research on dynamic stiffness performed …

Stability analysis of pile groups is an inherent ingredient in the design of new structures and
is an integral part of maintenance of scoured pile foundations. It also represents an …

A better understanding of the inertial loads on pile response during a seismic event is the
subject of this study. Effects of loading rate, initial effective overburden stress and inertial …

Multi-column bent bridges in the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) are susceptible to
potential earthquake damage due to deficiencies of lap-spliced reinforcement at column …

In the last few decades, geotechnical earthquake engineering has been remaining as one of
the most active areas in geotechnical research and practice, among which liquefaction of …

The important role of soil-pile-structure interaction on the seismic response of pile-supported
structures has been widely established by several theoretical and experimental studies …

Soil-pile interaction constitutes an important parameter in predicting the seismic response of
pilesupported structures. Towards a computationally attractive investigation of the interaction …
