Abstract

In this study, research on a pile group system was conducted using shaking table tests under four working conditions: a natural foundation and pile-spacing conditions of 3D, 3.5D, and 4D (D is the diameter of the pile). The time histories of the excess pore pressure ratio and settlement were analyzed. It was determined that pile foundations improved the anti-liquefaction performance of the soil, and the effect was much greater when the pile spacing was 3D. In addition, the settlement dynamic amplification factor (SDAF) was proposed and calculated at different vibration times. The result was fitted with a linear relationship, and the correlation coefficient was relatively high. During the aseismic design of the pile foundation bearing capacity, the SDAF was multiplied by the static load, and the results showed that in the dynamic design of the pile foundation, the dynamic problem can be transformed into a static analysis, which can provide a reference for the design of the vertical bearing capacity of pile foundations under seismic force.
