11、i.e., the lateral force induced by the flow of liquefied soil. Therefore, a proper understanding of the behavior of pile founda- tions subjected to lateral soil movement is of major concern to geotechnical engineering. A

14、 More- over, it was shown that the leading row is subjected to the largestlateral load, and that the middle pile in each row demonstrates a slightly less lateral force than the side piles. Similarly, Kimura et al. ?2002?

15、 demonstrated shadow effects in centrifugal model tests. Their results illustrated that the percentage of lateral load de- creased as it moved in a downstream direction in the sloping ground, while this trend was not val

20、was shown that in 4-pile and 9-pile groups, the pile in the rear row ?closest to the quay wall? carried larger bending mo- ments than the pile in the front row. Furthermore, Sato ?1997? conducted centrifuge tests on a gr
