Experimental Investigation of Seismic Bending Moment Amplification in Pile Groups Embedded in Layered Clay

This study experimentally investigates the seismic bending-moment response of a five-pile group embedded in layered cohesive soil comprising soft clay overlying stiff clay. A series of 1-g shaking-table tests was conducted using a 0.8 × 0.6 × 0.84 m laminar shear box and a 1:50-scale physical model to examine the effec...
