Research summary

Kinematic bending moments in piles in layered soils during earthquakes: This project is funded by the Department of Civil Protection of the Italian Government [RELUIS Project]. The other investigators are Professor Colin Taylor (University of Bristol), Professor A.L.Simonelli [University of Sannio (Italy)], Professor George Mylonakis [University of Patras (Greece)] and Dr L.Dihoru (University of Bristol). In this project, physical modelling of pile-soil interaction is being carried out using the shear stack in the BLADE lab (University of Bristol).
