Model Response Summary1. Conducted one-g shake table experiments show excellent
repeatability in terms of pore pressure, acceleration, displacement, and pile responses. Shaking successfully liquefied the soil and induced lateral spreading.
2. Free field excess pore pressure reached initial effective stress at the first few cycles of shaking, indicating soil liquefied relatively early.
3. Pore pressures at the downslope side of piles showed larger dips due to the fact that soil moved more than the pile.
4. No strong dilation in the soil was observed during the experiments.
5. After liquefaction, soil accelerations near ground surface decreased significantly and ground displacement kept increasing as shaking continued.
6. Pile response gradually increased before soil liquefaction. After liquefaction, the soil failed against the pile and started to flow around the pile. As a result, pile response gradually decreased.

Conclusions
Horizontal ground motions dominate lateral spreading. The influence of vertical motion on lateral spreading is very small.
Pile group and shadowing effects can reduce lateral load on individual piles by about 50%
Experimental and case history observations show soil failed passively against the pile.
A passive pressure method based on liquefied strength of the soil is proposed to estimate pile response to lateral spreading. This method satisfactorily predicted pile response in all shake table experiments as well as the performance of piles during past earthquakes.
Current design methods can satisfactorily predict the response of short piles in shallow liquefied soil layers but significantly underestimate the response of longer piles in deeper liquefied ground.
The FEM successfully simulated the one of the shake table experiments. It is found that the piles have apparent reinforcement effects on the ground.

Recommendations for Future Research
Additional shake table experiments can be conducted using a large laminar box and a single pile of different sizes and different levels of stiffness to further study pile pinning effects.
It will be very useful to conduct one-g shake table experiments and numerical analysis on the case of a liquefiable ground with a stiff crust .
Pile behavior in liquefiable steep slope might be different from liquefiable infinite mildly inclined slope. One-g shake table experiments and numerical study can be conducted to bring valuable insights into this case.
