Physical modeling has long been established as a powerful tool for studying seismic pile-soil-superstructure interaction. This chapter presents a series of 1-g shaking table tests aiming at clarifying fundamental aspects of kinematic and inertial interaction effects on pile-supported systems. Pile models in layered sand deposits were built in the laboratory and subjected to a wide set of earthquake motions. The piles were densely instrumented with accelerometers and strain gauges; therefore, earthquake response, including bending strains along their length, could be measured directly. Certain broad conclusions on kinematic and inertial SSI effects on this type of systems are drawn

Abstract
Physical modeling has long been established as a powerful tool for studying seismic pile-soil-superstructure interaction. This chapter presents a series of 1-g shaking table tests aiming at clarifying fundamental aspects of kinematic and inertial interaction effects on pile-supported systems. Pile models in layered sand deposits were built in the laboratory and subjected to a wide set of earthquake motions. The piles were densely instrumented with accelerometers and strain gauges; therefore, earthquake response, including bending strains along their length, could be measured directly. Certain broad conclusions on kinematic and inertial SSI effects on this type of systems are drawnI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
