title = "Liquefaction-induced lateral load on pile in a medium dr sand layer",
abstract = "One-g shake-table experiments are conducted to explore the response of single piles due to liquefaction-induced lateral soil flow. The piles are embedded in saturated Medium Relative Density (Dr) sand strata 1.7-5.0 m in thickness. Peak lateral pile displacements and bending moments are recorded and analyzed by uniform and triangular pressure distributions. On this basis, the observed levels of pile bending moment upon liquefaction suggest a hydrostatic lateral pressure approximately equal to that due to the total overburden stress. Using the experimental data, comparisons with current recommendations are made, and the Showa Bridge case history is briefly assessed.",

note = "Funding Information: This research was supported by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), under the Earthquake Engineering Research Centers Program of the National Science Foundation (award number EEC-9701568), the National Science Foundation (award number CMS-0200510), and the PEER Lifelines Program. The mildly inclined laminar container testing configuration is patterned after the earlier centrifuge research effort of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Professors Ricardo Dobry and Tarek Abdoun). Under the oversight of Professor Tokimatsu, the experiments using the large laminar container were conducted at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED) laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan (Dr. Akio Abe, Dr. Masayoshi Sato, and Professor Kohji Tokimatsu). We are grateful to Professor Scott Ashford for providing access to the UCSD medium size laminar container. The rigid wall soil container was provided by Waseda University, Japan (Professor M. Hamada). Mr. Atsushi Hirao and Mr. Makoto Kurita (Waseda University, Japan) contributed to the rigid wall soil container experiments under the leadership of Dr. Jorge Meneses (UCSD). Professors Ross Boulanger (UC Davis), Liam Finn (UBC), and Tzou-Shin Ueng (NTU) acted as advisors to this project. Their insights and support are gratefully acknowledged.",
