Keynote Lecture: Some Recent Developments In The Selection Of Ground Motions For Design,
2010
University of British Columbia, Canada
Keynote Lecture: Some Recent Developments In The Selection Of Ground Motions For Design, W. D. Liam Finn, A. Wightman
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
This paper describes some recent developments in the selection of ground motions for design; the conditional mean spectrum approach and risk targeted ground motions. The conditional mean spectrum approach is just finding its way into practice and its application to a major dam is presented. Risk targeted ground motions are the basis for the next generation of building codes in the USA. The process of determining these motions is explained. Finally in the context of the retrofit of 800 schools in British Columbia, Canada, a performance based design procedure based on incremental dynamic analysis (IDA), with direct application to geotechnical …
A Practical Model For Advanced Nonlinear Analysis Of Earthquake Effects In Clay Slopes,

University of British Columbia, Canada
A Practical Model For Advanced Nonlinear Analysis Of Earthquake Effects In Clay Slopes, Mahdi Taiebat, Amir M. Kaynia
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Presented in this paper is an effort in providing an advanced yet practical tool with a reasonable level of complexity for modeling of clays in realistic geotechnical engineering problems. SANICLAY model is a Simple ANIsotropic CLAY plasticity model that has been developed by Dafalias et al. (2006). The SANICLAY model provides successful simulation of both undrained and drained rateindependent behavior of normally consolidated clays, and to a satisfactory degree of accuracy of overconsolidated clays. An associated flow rule extension of the SANICLAY model has been employed in the present study, trading simplicity for some accuracy in simulations. The model requires …
An Evaluation Of Ground Vibrations Induced By Heavy Free-Falling Structural Elements,

Hanyang University of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Seoul, Korea
An Evaluation Of Ground Vibrations Induced By Heavy Free-Falling Structural Elements, Kwangkyun Kim, Mark J. Carlson, Duhee Park
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Ground vibrations generated during a large structural demolition event can be potentially damaging to nearby structures or sensitive equipment. In this paper, an approach for the prediction of the ground vibration induced by a large free-falling heavy weight is proposed based on both measured and collected data. A series of field ground vibration measurements were performed relative to the dynamic motions induced by free-falling heavy structural elements during demolition of a generating plant in the upper Midwest, USA. Using this information and the collected data, correlations between the measured PPV and normalized distance from the impact source with various ground …
Assessment Of Liquefaction/Cyclic Failure Potential Of Alluvial Deposits On The Eastern Coast Of Cyprus,

Eastern Mediterranean University, Cyprus
Assessment Of Liquefaction/Cyclic Failure Potential Of Alluvial Deposits On The Eastern Coast Of Cyprus, Huriye Bilsel, Goknur Erhan, Turan Durgunoglu
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
The main objective of this paper is to evaluate liquefaction potential and cyclic failure of subsoils of Tuzla area located on the eastern coast of Cyprus. The in-situ tests of cone penetration test (CPT) and standard penetration test (SPT) were used for site specific evaluation of liquefaction potential. Index properties and undrained shear strength (su) were used to assess cyclic failure potential of fine-grained soils. Liquefaction potential index (LPI) was evaluated based on the calculated factor of safeties for each CPT location. Sensitivity of soils was indirectly estimated from liquidity index (LI). The samples tested displayed high sensitivity …
Comparison Of Measured And Estimated Shear Wave Velocities In A Seismically Active Area (Erbaa, Turkey),
2010
Middle East Technical University, Turkey
Comparison Of Measured And Estimated Shear Wave Velocities In A Seismically Active Area (Erbaa, Turkey), Muge Akin, Steven L. Kramer, Tamer Topal
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Shear wave velocity (Vs) is an important parameter for the design of geotechnical works in seismically active areas. The Vs value commonly reflects geological information and engineering properties such as stiffness and density. It is also an important parameter of soil for design and site response purposes. As a part of a microzonation study, field tests performed in Erbaa, Turkey were evaluated to obtain shear wave velocity profiles. The study area, Erbaa, is located on the eastern segment of seismically active North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) where a catastrophic earthquake occurred in 1942. In addition, several earthquakes …
Cyclic Response Of Reconstituted Low Plasticity Silt,
2010
Middle East Technical University, Turkey
Cyclic Response Of Reconstituted Low Plasticity Silt, Selman Sağlam, B. Sadık Bakır
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Foundation failures observed over saturated silt-clay mixtures during past earthquakes clearly indicate the need for a profound understanding of the behavior of such soils under seismic loading. Although the mechanisms dominating the response of fine grained soils under seismic loading are known to be different from those of sandy soils, the behavior of low plasticity silt and clay is still under discussion. An experimental research program, still in progress, has been undertaken to investigate the cyclic behavior of low plasticity fine grained soils for developing useful guidelines for the assessment of seismic response. Samples of low plasticity silt, initially consolidated …
Determination Of Small Strain Modulus And Degradation For In-Situ Weathered Rock And Old Alluvium Deposits,
2010
Ove Arup & Partners HK Ltd, Hong Kong
Determination Of Small Strain Modulus And Degradation For In-Situ Weathered Rock And Old Alluvium Deposits, Erin Leung, Jack Pappin, Raymond Koo
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
The small strain shear modulus (G0) and the degradation of shear modulus (G/G0) with increasing magnitude of shear strain are important soil properties required for the evaluation of site response due to earthquake effects. While these properties are well established for geologically recent alluvial sand and clay materials, published data on the properties of materials derived from in-situ rock weathering and ancient alluvial deposits are limited. This paper presents the results of laboratory testing on completely decomposed granite and tuff in Hong Kong, and weathered Jurong Siltstone and Old Alluvium in Singapore. The small strain shear …

Design method of rational composite foundation capable of reducing seismic response of structures was studied. Analysis of the effects of damping materials on the reduction of seismic response of a full-scale structure was performed. Shaking experiment and seismic observation for model foundations confirming the damping effects were conducted and development of new damping material are described.
Dynamic Properties Of Rubber Specimens,

Indian Institute of Science, India
Dynamic Properties Of Rubber Specimens, B. N. Madhusudhan, Jyant Kumar
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Resonant column and bender element tests were conducted on rubber specimens to study their dynamic properties, namely, shear modulus (G), damping ratio (D) and Poisson’s ratio (ν). It was found that similar to soil specimens, with an increase in strain level, the shear modulus of rubber decreases continuously whereas the damping ratio increases. The tests were also carried out to find the effect of confining pressures on the rubber specimens. It was observed that for the rubber with the lesser hardness, there was a slight increase in the shear modulus and a decrease in the damping ratio values as the …
