Title: EVALUATION OF PILE RESPONSE DUE TO LIQUEFACTION-INDUCED LATERAL SPREADING OF THE GROUND
Accession Number: 00784647
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: A cooperative project is reported between teams at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and Cornell University to evaluate the effect of lateral spreading on pile foundations. Centrifuge tests of lateral spreading and the corresponding permanent bending moments measured in instrumented model piles conducted at RPI are used to study the problem and verify and calibrate Cornell University's computer program B-STRUCT. Individual piles and pile groups are investigated in a variety of pile and soil configurations. The paper reports in detail the results of Model 1, corresponding to the simulation of reinforced concrete piles that failed and developed two plastic hinges under the NFCH building in Niigata during the 1964 earthquake.
