Abstract

Devastating pile failures due to liquefaction induced lateral spreading during or after major earthquakes in gently slo** ground or level grounds with free end, especially the pile foundations located under structures in or near ports and harbors, have been observed and studied for decades. Many physical and numerical modellings have been implemented or developed to study and understand the insight into different aspects of this phenomenon. In this regard, 1-g shake table and N-g dynamic centrifuge tests using both rigid box and laminar shear box have been implemented to physically model the problem and measure the parameters that may affect the impact of lateral spreading on deep foundations. A number of countermeasures have also been examined for tackling this problem. In this paper and theme lecture, the author tries to describe shortly the physical modelling researches and studies that have been conducted by him and his coworkers on this subject in more than a decade, and discuss the various parameters that are involved in physical modelling for studying the behavior of pile foundations subjected to liquefaction induced lateral spreading. A number of limitations involved in such physical modellings are also mentioned and some solutions to the involved challenges are discussed as well.
