Predicting The Maximum And Distribution Of Displacements On Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Spreads, Alan F. Rauch, James R. Martin Ii Mar 2001

Predicting The Maximum And Distribution Of Displacements On Liquefaction-Induced Lateral Spreads, Alan F. Rauch, James R. Martin Ii

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics

Lateral spreading is the mostly horizontal movement of gently sloping ground due to liquefaction in shallow soil deposits. To assess the seismic hazards related to lateral spreading, estimates are needed of the maximum potential ground movement at these sites. One approach to this problem is to predict, using empirical models, the mean and standard deviation of the displacement magnitudes across the surface of a lateral spread. Then, using a probability density function, the maximum likely deformation at the site can be predicted with a suitable degree of conservatism. In the analysis described here, probability density functions are studied for modeling …

Earthquake-Induced Spalling Of Rock Slopes, Northridge Earthquake, January 17, 1994 — A Case Study, David Cummings

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics

The 1994 Northridge earthquake (Mw=6.7, ML=6.4), southern California produced a 100-foot thick, 3,000-foot linear zone of fractures interpreted as a spalled slab near the crest of a ridge in the Simi Hills, 7 miles northwest of the epicenter. The strike and dip of the slab parallel the strike of the ridge and the dip of the topographic slope, respectively. The fractures cut across bedding and joint planes. An analytical model based on earthquake-induced stresses is used to describe the mechanism of spalling. Earthquake-induced tensile stresses are related to (I) propagation direction of the wavefront, (2) peak particle velocity, …

Is Newmark Method Conservative?, Mohsen Beikae Mar 2001

Is Newmark Method Conservative?, Mohsen Beikae

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics

Newmark method is a commonly accepted practice in geotechnical earthquake engineering to estimate seismically induced displacement of earth structures. The method currently requires performing a series of analyses using multiple computer programs to 1) identify a potential sliding mass, 2) compute a factor of safety, 3) calculate a yield acceleration, and 4) perform a double integration of that portion of a given horizontal acceleration history that exceeds the yield acceleration. The Newmark method provides satisfactory results for a horizontal sliding surface. However, for an inclined sliding surface the result is unconservative and for a nonplanar one is not clear. To …

Large Motion Assessment In Soils Under Dynamic Loading, E. Foerster, H. Modaressi Mar 2001

Large Motion Assessment In Soils Under Dynamic Loading, E. Foerster, H. Modaressi

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics

This paper presents the mathematical formulation of the nonlinear multiphase dynamic model meant for porous media, obtained by applying the finite transformation assumption. This assumption is appropriate when large motions take place either during mass wasting processes, such as large slumps and earthflows, or during earthquake events when site liquefaction occurs and results for instance in large irrecoverable settlements or lateral spreads. The weak formulation and numerical implementation of the dynamic model uses the mesh-free h-p clouds method, which is based on the more general Partition of Unity Method. The mesh-free numerical methods seem indeed to be more appropriate for …

Prediction Of Volumetric Strain For Sand Under Cyclic Loading, Habib Shahnazari, Ikou Towhata Mar 2001

Prediction Of Volumetric Strain For Sand Under Cyclic Loading, Habib Shahnazari, Ikou Towhata

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics

In order to investigate volume change of sand due to cyclic loading, different tests were performed on hollow cylindrical specimens under drained cyclic simple shear condition. Correlation of accumulated plastic shear energy with volumetric strain and effects of different parameters such as initial confining pressure, initial anisotropic consolidation and strain amplitude on this correlation were studied. Test results showed that volumetric strain of sand under different initial confining pressures was almost same. Volume change of specimens with different initial anisotropic consolidations was also identical, except for initial stage of shearing. It was found that the correlation of volumetric strain and …

Degradation Characteristics Of Clay-Shale Samples Under Cyclic Loading, M. Zoghi Mar 2001

Degradation Characteristics Of Clay-Shale Samples Under Cyclic Loading, M. Zoghi

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics

It is known that reduction and degradation of soil strength and stiffness during cyclic loading typically result in damage to structural foundations and earth structures due to excessive settlement and tilting and may cause slope instability and embankment failure. Case histories, representing damages during earthquakes, due to this phenomenon are numerous. It is the guiding principle of this paper to present an overview of degradation characteristics of combined clay-shale samples under cyclic loading and describe how this phenomenon can be utilized in evaluating the seismic stability of slopes involving colluvium.

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics

This text concerns with the deformation characteristics of liquefied sand which undergoes large residual deformation and flow failure. In particular, the nature of sand which can be used in a dynamic analysis of deformation in the time domain is aimed at. Although the former model tests have suggested a rate-dependent behavior of sand, a detailed measurement of stress and strain was not possible. This problem was overcome in the present study in which two types of torsional shear device were employed. A special care was therein taken to achieve such a large and realistic shear strain as 100% in a …

Measurement Of Shear Modulus Profile Using A Continuous Surface Wave Measurement System, S. Anand, E. C. Leong, H. K. Cheong Mar 2001

Measurement Of Shear Modulus Profile Using A Continuous Surface Wave Measurement System, S. Anand, E. C. Leong, H. K. Cheong

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics

For most ground response analyses, the shear modulus is an important parameter to be determined and it has to be measured over a large strain range, so as to characterise the soil behavior under various loading conditions. Laboratory measurement of shear modulus covers a limited strain range depending on the test method. The main difficulty lies in the determination of the shear modulus at very small strains. In this respect, geophysical methods are more attractive. One of these test methods, which uses a continuous surface wave, is used to obtain the shear modulus profile at two sites in Singapore.

Seismic Displacements Of Rigid Retaining Walls, Yingwei Wu, Shamsher Prakash

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics

Rigid retaining walls experience significant displacements during earthquakes. Several investigations have developed 1-D and 2-D models to predict displacements. A critical review of the state of the art shows that these model may not predict realistic displacement Wu (1999). A new 2-D model, which considers strain dependent soil stiffness and material damping, sliding and rocking motions, and practical field water conditions behind the wall as per Eurocode (1994) have been presented. Typical results are included. A comparison of prediction and performance of a centrifuge model has shown good agreement. This model represents a considerable advance over the existing solutions and …

Geosynthetic materials particularly geogrids are widely used as reinforcement and is a proven technology for enhancing the performance of the foundation soil system under monotonic loadings. But the dynamic behavior of the reinforced foundation soil has not been well understood so far, and therefore dynamic loads (square wave pulse) of frequencies 0.2, 0.4 and 1 hertz under an amplitude of displacement of 2mm have been studied by carrying out dynamic plate loading tests on both unreinforced and the reinforced sandy beds. The size of the square plate is 150mm x 150mm x 30mm.
