Abstract:In a seismic design of a pile foundation, a subgrade reaction generated with a displacement of piles when the seismic load is applied must be appropriately evaluated. The ratio of the subgrade reaction to the amount of displacement of a pile is defined as the subgrade reaction modulus (SRM). There are two ideas about the SRM's depth distribution: one assumes a constant depth distribution, while another assumes a monotonously increasing depth distribution. There are various types of pile foundations based on di… Show more
