Seismic fragility curves are considered an effective tool for the evaluation of the behavior of interaction of the soil-pile-structure (ISPS) subjected to earthquake loading. In this research, in order to better understand the ISPS effect, a nonlinear static analysis is applied with a variation of the vertical load, the diameter of pile, and finally the longitudinal steel ratio of the pile in different types of sand (loose, medium, dense) to obtain the capacity curves of each parameter for elaborating the curves of fragility. After a comparison of fragility curves of these parameters, it appears that the effect of the ISPS system is advantageous with respect to the vertical axial load and the diameter of pile, while the longitudinal ratio of the pile depending on the ductility and the lateral resistance of the ISPS system. The proposed equation is intended to help engineers in the design and performance of the soil-pile-structure interaction. The results of this equation provided a convergence with the results of the fragility curves.

This study aimed to investigate whether the seismic fragility and performance of interaction soil-pile-structure (ISPS) were affected by different parameters:  axial load, a section of the pile, and the longitudinal steel ratio of the pile were implanted in different type of sand (loose, medium, dense). In order to better understand the ISPS phenomena, a series of nonlinear static analysis have been conducted for two different cases, namely: (i) fixed system and (ii) ISPS system, to get the curves of the capacity of every parameter for developing the fragility curve. After a comparison of the numerical results of pushover analysis and fragility curves, the results indicate that these parameters are significantly influenced on lateral capacity, ductility and seismic fragility on the ISPS. The increasing in the axial load exhibit high probabilities of exceeding the damage state. The increase in pile section and longitudinal steel ratio, the effect of probability damage (low and high) are not only related to the propriety geometrically, but also related to the values of ductility and lateral capacity of the system.
