| 1998 | Empirical Evaluation of Inertial Soil-Structure I nteraction Effects | Structural Engineering / Geotechnical Engineering | Stewart, Jonathan Seed, Raymond; Febres, Gregory | This research employed system identification analysis with earthquake strong motion recordings to quantify the effects of soil-structure interaction on seismic structural response, and used these observations to calibrate simplified analysis procedures for predicting these effects. | Download |
| 2005 | A Study of Piles during Earthquakes: Issues of Design and Analysis | Geotechnical Engineering | W.D. Liam Finn | The study presents a critical evaluation of general engineering practice for estimating the response of pile foundations in liquefiable and non-liquefiable soils during earthquakes. The evaluation of practice is based on results from field tests, centrifuge tests on model piles and comprehensive non-linear dynamic analyses of pile foundations consisting of both single piles and pile groups. Studies of particular aspects of pile–soil interaction were made. Piles in layered liquefiable soils were analysed in detail as case histories show that these conditions increase the seismic demand on pile foundations. | Download |
