As foundations have high bearing capacity, good stability, and small and uniform settlement, tehy are widely used in structures such as bridges, wharfs, buildings, wind turbines, oil platforms and tanks, among others. These pile-supported structures are threatened by earthquake loads and other dynamic and static loads, for example, wind, wave, soil pressure, blast, water pressure, etc. These loads may cause catastrophic damage to pile-supported structures, which may lead to possible economic loss and loss of life.

In recent years, the seismic/dynamic response and performance of pile-supported structures induced by multiple loads has attracted much attention from researchers. To ensure the safety of pile-supported structures under multiple loads, a lot of studies have been performed including theoretical analysis, analytical analysis, numerical simulation, simplified analysis, experimental and field tests. The properties of different dynamic loads and soil-pile-structure interactions need to be well understood. In addition, the difference in design codes between different countries needs more attention.

This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers working on the dynamic response of the materials of foundations under multiple loads. Original research and review articles are welcome, including theoretical studies, experimental studies, and numerical studies.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Mechanical properties of materials of foundations
• Soil-pile-structure interaction
• Seismic/dynamic response soil dynamics
• Geotechnical earthquake engineering
• Seismic performance
• Seismic design and construction techniques
• Provisions, specifications, codes, and regulations
• Pile-supported structures
• Field tests
• Seismic damage evolution
• Numerical simulation
