abstract = "The seismic soil-pile-structure interaction (SPSI) is a complex mechanism that is usually considered formed by the combination of kinematic and inertial interaction. Both mechanisms generate additional forces on the system related to the stiffness contrast between the soil and the foundation for the kinematic interaction and to the soil response around the foundation due to the inertial contribution of the superstructure for the so-called inertial interaction. While the mechanism of each of these contributions is clear, their combination is still under investigation due to number of parameters involved (i.e. dynamic characteristics of both system and input). An effective way to study this combination is the analysis of actual data on real structures. Due to the fact that these data are hard to find, usually the response of physical scaled models on 1-g and n-g devices are investigated. In this connection, this paper presents some results from an extensive 1-g shaking table testing activity. The scaled physical model is formed by a group of five piles embedded in a by-layer deposit of dry sands with an oscillator connected to the piles through different kind of foundation systems. More specifically, the attention is focused on both pile and structural response when the oscillator is connected to a small group of three piles by means of a stiff foundation. The analysis of the experimental data enhances the role of the resonance between the soil-structure system and the input waves in the general behavior of both structure and piles.",

note = "Funding Information: In this paper the SPSI is investigated by means of a series of high quality of 1-g shaking table tests carried out at the Bristol Laboratory for Advanced Dynamics Engineering (BLADE) of the University of Bristol (UK), within the Framework of the Seismic Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies (SERIES), which was funded by the 7th Programme of the European Commission. The scaled physical model is formed by a group of five pile embedded in a by-layer deposit of dry sands with an oscillator connected to the piles through different kind of foundation systems. The results here reported refer to the configuration with the oscillator resting on a foundation connecting three piles. The analysis of these data shows that an important role in the system response is played by the resonance conditions that develop during the motion.
