Lateral load test was performed on a full-scale pile group following blast-induced liquefaction to evaluate pile–soil–pile interaction effects. The 3×3 pile group at 3.3 pile diameter spacing was driven into loose to medium dense sand. A single pile test was conducted for comparison. In contrast to...
