Drive pile - bracing in pile to negate liquefaction effect
- Thread starter MedNeuvo
- Start date
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!
