The California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program's Loma Prieta records at Oakland Outer Harbor Wharf maybe used to study the free-field motions, the possible softening of soils surrounding the piles supporting the instrumented wharf, the determination of the motion on the instrumented wharf using free-field motion input and deflection-compatible lateral and vertical pile foundation stiffnesses, and conditions under which a soil-foundation interaction failure or structural failure of the batter piles might have developed.
