5 A Comparison Between Measured and Computed Axial Pile Load at Different Depths (After Vesic, 1970)

6 Fig. 3-15 Comparison Between Measured and Predicted Load Transfer (  ) – Pile Movement (z) Curve for the California Test

7 Predicted Pile-Head Load-Settlement Curves for Seven Loading Tests at Different Time Periods for the California Test in Comparison with the Predicted Results Axial Load Distribution along the Pile

8 Layer 3 Liquefiable soil  = 32 0 Clay Effect of Developing Liquefaction on Axial Capacity of a Pile from FHWA/RD/86/102 Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer 4

9 No Liquefactiona max = 0.25g, M = 6.5a max = 0.40g, M = 6.5 Effect of Soil Liquefaction on the T-z Curve
