The aim of this work is to investigate the kinematic response of fixed-head vertical floating piles embedded in two layer soils with shallow interfaces and subjected to upward-propagating seismic waves. The problem is explored numerically by means of a rigorous finite element analysis, to quantify the kinematically-induced reduction of the horizontal free-field spectral acceleration. Insight about the beneficial role of the stiffer layer is provided.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to investigate the kinematic response of fixed-head vertical floating piles embedded in two layer soils with shallow interfaces and subjected to upward-propagating seismic waves. The problem is explored numerically by means of a rigorous finite element analysis, to quantify the kinematically-induced reduction of the horizontal free-field spectral acceleration. Insight about the beneficial role of the stiffer layer is provided.File in questo prodotto:
