Centrifuge modeling of batter pile foundations in laterally spreading soil

Batter piles are widely used in geotechnical engineering construction. Observations regarding the performance of batter piles in seismic hazards are controversial, and few studies have evaluated batter piles in liquefiable and laterally spreading ground. Three centrifuge experiments were performed to gain a better understanding of the performance of batter piles in liquefiable ground and to reveal the influence of the overlying nonliquefiable...
