Abstract

An important issue that is the reason of damages and collapses during earthquake is liquefaction of loose and saturated sands. After the reduction of soil strength, piles will behave like unsupported columns. So it seems that behavior of these piles and their analysis method isn't clear and suitable. For a better view a pile group is modeled using FLAC3D software that is connected to each other with a cap. Soil profile has three layers that middle layer is liquefiable while other two layers are not. In this research settlement of pile group in different values for liquefied layer thickness and pile length has investigated. Before the analysis of model, sensitivity analyses are carried out to achieve accurate results in less computing time.
