How do soil conditions, structural demands, and earthquake effects come together in seismic pile design?
This session will introduce the key concepts behind soil–pile interaction, seismic forces, and practical design considerations that help engineers create safer, more resilient piled foundations. Whether you are a student, graduate engineer, or simply interested in earthquake-resistant design, this talk will provide a clear overview of an essential skill for geotechnical engineers designing deep foundations for structures in New Zealand.
Join the Waikato Branch for an engaging talk on the fundamentals of seismic pile design, where Dr Martin Larisch will introduce the fundamentals how piled foundations are designed to perform under earthquake loading.
