Abstract:
Shaking table testing on seismic performance and interaction of PHC pipe-piles in saturated soils had been conducted using a series of sine wave, typical earthquake waves as well as artificial ground motions based on in-site. The testing results involving time histories of ratios of water pore pressure and responding displacement related to the soils liquefaction were presented. The testing results indicate that the natural frequency of soil-pile system gradually reduced, which means that the piles are damaged gradually. Moreover, the displacement responses of piles in saturated soil and unsaturated soil have a little difference that the peak displacements are larger than that in unsaturated soil. In addition, the prestressed degree is benefit to the resist the damage. The researches can be used to calibrate FE models and provide a data base on seismic design of PHC pipe piles.
