Abstract

Two methods for analysis of piles in liquefying soils are discussed and comparatively examined in this paper: an advanced method for dynamic analysis based on the effective stress principle and a simplified analysis based on the pseudo-static approach. The former method aims at an accurate simulation of the complex liquefaction process and soil-pile interaction while the latter is a design-oriented approach aiming at an optimum trade-off between the accuracy and simplicity required in the preliminary assessment and design of piles. Typical models, analysis procedures and characteristic features of both methods are discussed in order to illustrate their advantages and shortcomings and hence provide guidance for their application to the evaluation of seismic performance and design of piles.
