Abstract

     Using piles row is a well-known method to stabilize the soil slopes in the both static and seismic conditions. The load transfer mechanism of installed piles row may be as end- bearing or floating. In this study the behavior of floating piles row with circular cross- section were installed inside the dry sandy slope by help of three- dimensional numerical analyses and physical modeling have been simultaneously studied. The three- dimensional numerical modeling was used for conducting the parametric studies about effects of directions of imposition of near-field and far- field earthquakes loading on the main structural and geotechnical interaction parameters of floating piles row-sandy slope problem (Al-Defae and Knappett, 2015; Ashour and Ardalan, 2012).
