Collaboration between E-Defense and NEES: Studying Pile Stress in Laterally Spread Ground (NEES-2007-0361)

<p><strong>Title:</strong> Collaboration between E-Defense and NEES: Studying Pile Stress in Laterally Spread Ground (NEES-2007-0361)</p> <p><strong>Year Of Curation: </strong>2011</p> <p><strong>Description: </strong>Two centrifuge model tests, Tests 1 and 2, were planned to estimate failure mechanism of piles in the ground behind a quay wall during laterally spreading. Test 1 included three pile groups with different pile caps and pile number, while Test 2 included two pile groups with the same pile cap, pile number and pile stiffness but with different pile strength.</p> <p><strong>Award: </strong> N/A</p> <p><strong>PIs & CoPIs: </strong>Ross Boulanger</p> <p><strong>Dates: </strong>August 29, 2006 - November 20, 2006</p> <p><strong>Organizations: </strong>Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan,,University of California, Davis, CA, United States</p> <p><strong>Facilities: </strong>University of California, Davis, CA, United States</p> <p><strong>Sponsor: </strong>NIED</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Lateral spreading, Pile foundations, Liquefaction, Centrifuge testing</p> <p><strong>Publications: </strong>N/A</p> <nb:citations></nb:citations>
