International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
The largest compressor train in North America was installed for a new ethylene production plant at the Nova Chemicals Facility located near Joffre, Alberta. To illustrate the effect of soil-pile-structure interaction, the dynamic behavior of the structure using flexible piled foundation is compared to the same structure fixed to a rigid base in this paper. Both field and laboratory tests were carried out to investigate the soil properties including down hole seismic tests to provide soil shear wave velocities at different depths. Different design options are considered and an optimum design selected to limit vibration and produce a safe, economic …

To better understand the causes of pile damages during earthquakes such as Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake, shaking table tests of soil-pile-structure interaction models were done using a large scale laminar shear box. Because the pile response is affected by both the ground motion and the structure's inertial forces, three models were test & a soil-pile model and two soil-pile-structure models. For the latter models, superstructures with long and short natural periods were tested separately. Through comparisons among the three cases, the influences on the pile response due to the inertial force of the superstructure for the long and short natural periods were …
