For the three-piece helical pile connector, cyclic models were proposed to capture its seismic performance. These models are tailored to the specific connectors tested, and their applicability should be verified for other types of helical pile connectors. It’s crucial to ensure the models are valid for different connectors before applying them to various seismic performance evaluations.
