Kd/Ks of the cap-pile system or single pile at different frequencies.
| Tested cap-pile system or single pile | Averaged Kd between 10 and 30 Hz (N/m) | Ks (N/m) | Averaged Kd/Ks |
| Cap-pile system | Tested in the study | 1.93 × 1010 | 1.11 × 1010 | 1.74 | Pile #1 tested in [19] | 3.66 × 108 | 1.41 × 108 | 2.60 | Pile #2 tested in [19] | 3.49 × 108 | 1.61 × 108 | 2.17 | Single pile | Pile #1 tested in [24] | 2.74 × 109 | 1.25 × 109 | 2.19 | Pile #2 tested in [24] | 1.97 × 109 | 9.90 × 109 | 1.99 |
