Estimation of bending moment and pile displacement for soil-pile-quay wall system subjected to liquefaction induced lateral spreading

Abstract The liquefaction-induced lateral spreading has been responsible for severe damages on the pile foundation during major earthquakes. Therefore, the seismic response of soil-pile-quay wall systems in liquefiable soils still needs further investigations. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear dynamic finite element (FE) analyses are used and developed for the coupled dynamic soil-water system considering the soil, pile, and quay wall interaction. The numerical analysis efficiency was verified by the data of a large-scale (1 g) shaking table experiment. A parametric study was also investigated on the model to clarify the effect of each parameter, such as pile stiffness, pile diameter, and pile length, under various peak ground acceleration. On this basis, the results obtained indicate the three factors have significant effects on bending moment and pile displacement. Furthermore, it is observed that the depth of liquefaction changes as the peak ground acceleration changes. Based on the dimensionless soil-pile interaction parameter, a simplified method is provided for predicting the maximum bending moment and the maximum pile displacement of the pile group subjected to liquefaction induced-lateral spreading.
Highlights A 3D finite element analysis of large-scale shake table experiment on 2 × 2 pile group behind quay wall during lateral spreading is presented. Influences of several parameters on bending moment and pile cap displacement are examined. A simplified estimation method is presented to predict the pile response.
