Lateral Load Resistance of Piles in Liquefiable Sand from Full-Scale Tests
Kyle
Rollins, Ph.D.
Civil and Construction Engineering at Brigham Young University
The lateral resistance of deep foundations is often important in the design of bridges and high-rise structures in seismically active regions. To improve our understanding of the lateral load behavior of deep foundations in liquefied soil, BYU has conducted a series of lateral load tests on full-scale piles, pile groups and drilled shaft foundations. At Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, static tests were first conducted in non-liquefied soil and then cyclic tests were performed with a high-speed actuator after a surface layer was liquefied using controlled blasting...
