A Study on Correlation between Safety Factor of Pile-Slope Systems and Seismically Induced Displacements of Pile Groups

This paper presents a study on the seismic behavior of pile groups located in soil slopes that are alsoknown as pile-slope systems. The main objective of the present study is to explore a reasonable andpractical correlation between the safety factor of soil slope and seismic lateral displacements of pilegroups in slope so that to achieve a better understanding and a framework for seismic analysis anddesign of pile groups in soil slope. To this end , a parametric study based on 3D numerical analysis for anumber of pile groups in soil slopes under different conditions , has been carried out to investigate theseismic behavior of pile-slope systems. Some findings and conclusions are drawn that are intended toprovide insight about the seismic behavior of pile-slope systems
