| Summary: | From previous experience of strong earthquake, pile foundation usually failed under
liquefaction especially in the soft soil area. Thus, there is a need to study the pile and soil
behaviour under vibration. The laboratory study on Prai soft soil will be conducted using
vibrating table test. A transparent container 450x300x250 mm and a hollow circular
tubing of 20 mm diameter were used in this laboratory. This report focused on observing
the soil settlement, displacement and pile behaviour under strong shaking, within 1
translational direction. Settlement, displacement and boiling behaviour were observed
and conclusions were made based on the test result obtained.
