Example of soil pile structure interaction at bridge piers under seismic effects

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the behavior of piles under dynamic conditions by considering their interaction with the soil. Two methods are generally used in the literature for the structure-soil interaction. One is the inertial interaction of the building ground and the other is the kinematic interaction. The direct method that provides the communication (flow) of the seismic effect and gives the closest result to the reality will be preferred. In the kinematic interaction, it will be considered that the seismic effect only affects the raft foundation and that it is a method that allows the transformation to the ground without being affected by the structure and without changing due to the rigid foundation.
