Abstract:

Post-earthquake investigations have shown that piles in liquefiable soils are highly susceptible to damage, especially in sloping sites. This study examines the seismic performance of pile groups with lateral spreading through advanced numerical modeling. A three-dimensional finite element model, validated against large-scale shaking table test results, is implemented to capture the key mechanisms driving the dynamic response of pile groups under both inertial and kinematic loading conditions. Parametric seismic response analyses are conducted to compare the behavior of batter and vertical piles under varying ground motion intensities. The results indicate that batter piles experience increased axial compressive and tensile forces compared to vertical piles, up to 70% and 20%, respectively. However, batter piles provide enhanced lateral stiffness and shear resistance compared to vertical piles, reducing horizontal displacements by up to 20% and tilting the cap by 85% under strong ground motion. The results demonstrate that batter piles not only enhance the overall seismic stability of the structure but also mitigate the risk of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading in the near-field through pile-pinning effects. While vertical piles are more commonly used in practice, the distinct advantages of batter piles for seismic stability highlighted in this study may encourage using more advanced numerical modeling in engineering projects.
