Rock and Soil Mechanics
Earthquake-induced liquefaction can cause significant damage to geotechnical structures, and the aftershocks accompanying the earthquakes may cause the sandy soils to liquefy again. To investigate the effect of free-field subsurface seismic history on the liquefaction resistance of saturated sandy soils at various depths, a series of shaking table tests was designed and conducted. Four shaking events with different accelerations, subdivided into seven smaller events, were input to the sandy soil in the tests. The excess pore pressure ratio, acceleration response, and soil settlement were calculated and compared for each vibration event to investigate the variation laws of soil liquefaction resistance …

A numerical model of the liquefaction horizontal free-field shaking table test was developed based on the completed large-scale shaking table test of liquefaction horizontal free field using the OpenSees finite element platform, and the numerical model was verified. Based on this, a free-field numerical model of the overall inclined foundation was established, and the non-cyclic dynamic response of the liquefaction lateral spreading site and the mechanism of liquefaction-induced lateral spreading were discussed. The results show that the established numerical model can effectively simulate the seismic response in liquefiable sites. There was significant relative displacement at the interface between liquefiable loose …
