Drive pile - bracing in pile to negate liquefaction effect

Drive pile - bracing in pile to negate liquefaction effect

Drive pile - bracing in pile to negate liquefaction effect

(OP)
I believe to negate liquefaction induced lateral displacement, we need horizontal bracing at the top of a driven pile. Can anyone please send me any material/parameter on this kind of bracing?

RE: Drive pile - bracing in pile to negate liquefaction effect

mednuevo,

Do you mean to say that the pile cap is incapable of providing horizontal bracing?

I might believe that the pile cap will not prevent rotation of the pile at the pile cap, but as far as horizotal movement goes, I can't think of anything better, unless you're thinking of preventing the entire pile cap from translating. In that case, you need to keep the whole structure from moving laterally - good luck!

Jeff
