KINEMEATIC SEISMIC RESPONSE OF SINGLE PILES AND PILE GROUPS

This paper presents a comprehensive set of dimensionless graphs that could be readily utilized in practical applications. A comparative study of these graphs leads to interesting conclusions that may contribute towards an improved appreciation of the nature of seismic pile-soil-pile interaction. The graphs should be of practical value in determining the 'effective' seismic input motion at the base of structures, if the free-field motion is known. The discussion of the study results focuses on elucidating the role of the key parameters, and aims at developing engineering insight into kinematic soil-pile and pile-pile interactions during earthquakes.
