Abstract
Multi-tilted layered soil is widespread in the mountainous areas of China, and pile systems are widely applied to foundation support and repair. In order to investigate the seismic response of pile systems in multi-tilted layered soils under earthquake and rainfall, two models were built and tested through a large 1-g shaking table. The interlayer was tilted and highly weathered, and it was saturated during rainfall. The piles were embedded in the bedrock with different lengths. The results showed that: 1) The acceleration response was weakened in the interlayer, and it diminished as the earthquake amplitude increased. The structures showed the maximum acceleration response. 2) The existence of water in the tilted interlayer led to a greater response of the superstructure. The bending moment of piles varied under different containers, which was mainly due to the inertial force of the container and the potential sliding force of the covering layer. The water in the interlayer from rainfall promoted the bending moment caused by the potential sliding force, increasing the potential risk of instability of the system. 3) The motion mode of the container under rainfall was translation. The rotation angle of the container with saturated moisture content was significant and it increased with the increase of the earthquake amplitude.
