Dynamic soil-foundation interaction is an important consideration in the design of structures subjected to dynamic loads such as earthquakes, wind, machine vibration, vehicle loading, and impacts. One reason for this importance is that soil-structure interaction (SSI) can have detrimental effects on the dynamic response of soil-foundation-structure systems. However, present theories and solutions for dynamic soil-pile interaction can be quite complex and contain several parameters that are not known with a high degree of certainty. Additionally, several aspects of dynamic soil-pile interaction problems are difficult to characterize accurately, such as the highly-nonhomogeneous spatial distribution of soil properties, the nonlinear and stress-dependent mechanical response of soil, variable soil-pile contact conditions, and complexities of 3D wave propagation in nonhomogeneous media. Despite significant advancements in theoretical and experimental research on dynamic soil-pile interaction, many of the available simplified approaches as well as sophisticated numerical models fail to accurately capture the observed responses from realistic multi-modal experiments. To help bridge the knowledge-gap between existing theories and experimental observations for dynamic soil-pile interaction problems, a program of full-scale dynamic field tests were performed in this study using two identical H-piles at the same site containing soft clay. One pile was installed in the natural soil profile, and the other was partially embedded in an improved soil-cement zone. A new servo-hydraulic inertial shaker testing system and modular pile-cap were developed, then used to perform forced-vibration tests on the piles using random vibration techniques. Three different types and intensities of broadband excitation were applied to the system using the shaker installed on the pile cap in three different testing configurations. For the
