For the study of the soil-pile interaction in a liquefiable soil under earthquake shakings, lateral load tests and shaking table tests on two model piles, one of stainless steel and another of aluminum alloy, in the large biaxial laminar shear box filled with saturated sand were conducted at the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE), Taiwan. The pile tip was fixed at the bottom of the laminar shear box to simulate the condition of the pile foundation embedded in a firm stratum. Strain gauges and accelerometers were placed on the pile surface to obtain the pile behaviors during shaking. The near- and far-field soil responses, including pore pressure changes, accelerations, and settlements were also measured using mini piezometers, accelerometers and displacement sensors. Lateral load tests from the reaction wall and one- and multi-directional shaking table tests were performed on the model piles in the shear box with and without soil. The test results from the lateral load tests and shaking table tests were analyzed and compared. The responses of the model pile and the soil-pile interactions under shakings for liquefied and non-liquefied soil conditions were evaluated. The performance of the pile foundation was affected by the relation among the dynamic characteristics of the pile and the surrounding soil, and the mass of the superstructure.
