Task – 2.2:
Seismic behaviour of piles under dynamic lateral loading
Task Leader:- Parvathi, Manojit Samanta
Objective:
To investigate the seismic behaviour of piles subjected to dynamic lateral loading through experimental model testing and numerical analysis. The investigations envisage by bringing out the influence of various soil and pile parameters on the seismic behaviour of piles under dynamic lateral loading. It also aimed towards the development of a technology for seismic design futures of piles in layered sandy soils.
Scope of the work:
- Experimental model test design & methodology for numerical analysis
- Numerical analysis of piles in layered sandy soils with combination of loose and dense sandy soils subjected to dynamic lateral loading.
- Collection of soils, soil characterization, and investigation of seismic behaviour of piles in layered sandy soils subjected to dynamic lateral loading by using experimental model testing.
- Development of seismic design futures of piles for practical implication.
