Abstract:Over the past decades, pile foundations used to support buildings through a transfer of superstructure loads into more stable soil strata than surface soil layers. Buildings are exposed to seismic force, pile undergoes more stress through the significant vibration of the surrounding soil in addition to the static stresses of buildings. The investigation of the behavior of pile foundations under the influence of earthquakes is still limited or not well described. Further, this paper presents a theoretical study… Show more
