Learning from the Mexican Earthquake of September 19, 1985: Seismic Design and Analysis of Pile Foundations for Buildings

本研究方案考虑结构-桩-土动力相互作用 互动 它有两个主要目标：（1）统一现有的 桩基础设计方法，并进行比较 这些预测方法的结果与观察到的行为 墨西哥城的建筑地基经历了不同程度的 （2）提高对两者反应的认识 摩擦和端承杆地震摇晃，目标是 开发更合理的设计方法。 具体来说，该方案 我将尝试（1）开发一个分析模型来预测响应 的桩基，（2）进行试验计划， 墨西哥城，包括实验室调查和实地考察 意见。

This research program considers dynamic structure-pile-soil interaction. It has two main objectives: (1) to unify existing methodologies for the design on pile foundations and then to compare the results of these predictive methods with the observed behavior of building foundations in Mexico City that experienced various degrees of damage; (2) to improve the understanding of the response of both friction and end-bearing poles to earthquake shaking, with the goal of developing more rational methods of design. Specifically, the program will attempt (1) to develop an analytical model to predict the response of pile foundations, and (2) to conduct an experimental program in Mexico City consisting of laboratory investigations and field observations.
