Northridge Earthquake — Van Norman Complex Ground Movement, C. A. Davis, J. P. Bardet
Northridge Earthquake — Van Norman Complex Ground Movement, C. A. Davis, J. P. Bardet
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
The January 17, 1994, Northridge Earthquake severely shook the Van Norman Complex, in the northern San Fernando Valley. Located in the nearfield, over the vicinity of the ruptured fault, the Van Norman Complex was subjected to many types of ground movements, including strong ground motions, tectonic displacements, ground deformation of natural soil deposits, and deformation of embankments and other engineered fills. The complex provides a well-documented case of how these various types of ground movements interact and their effects on engineered facilities. Throughout the complex, sand boils, liquefaction induced lateral spreading, and ground cracks were observed. Eleven water retaining embankments, …

Performance Of Port Facilities During The Northridge Earthquake, K. K. Muraleetharan, S. V. Jagannath, K. Arulmoli, D. A. Thiessen
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
During the January 17, 1994, Northridge earthquake, two of the Port of Los Angeles' facilities called Berths 121-126 and Pier 300 sustained moderate damage. Lateral displacement of dikes up to five inches and liquefaction of hydraulic fills were observed. Several geotechnical analyses from simplified SPT -based method to sophisticated fully-coupled analyses are presented. Observed lateral displacements are predicted reasonably well by the fully-coupled analysis procedure and an intermediate analysis procedure which incorporates some results from a fully-coupled analysis in to a simplified Newmark-type deformation analysis. The potential for higher pore pressure generation underneath the dike compared to a level ground …

Numerical Modelling Approaches For The Analysis Of Earthquake Triggered Landslides, H. Modaressi, D. Aubry, E. Faccioli, C. Noret
Numerical Modelling Approaches For The Analysis Of Earthquake Triggered Landslides, H. Modaressi, D. Aubry, E. Faccioli, C. Noret
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Different numerical approaches for the analysis of earthquake triggered landslides are studied. Improved simplified models are developed and their performance for evaluating the response of natural slopes subjected to earthquakes is studied. Using more sophisticated numerical techniques the influence of several factors such as the hydro mechanical behavior assumptions, 1D vs. 2D geometry, and the input motion are assessed. 2D computations have shown that the kinematics of the slope motion is largely affected by the geometry of the slope. As far as the soil behavior is concerned, the results indicate that introduction of progressive yielding in the soil model provides …

National Geotechnical Experimentation Sites (Nges), R. D. Woods
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
The cost of and time required for site characterization in preparation for field experimentation often exceeds the cost and time of performing the experiment. For this reason alone, there is a need for well characterized field experimentation sites. The additional advantage of being able to compare measurements of so1l and rock parameters by new methods with measurements of the same parameters by other methods in well-known materials is very beneficial to the geotechnical community. Finally, the need to perform full scale earth structure experiments dictates a need for well characterized and user friendly sites where large experiments can be performed. …

The Evolution Of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Practice In North America: 1954-1994, W. D. Liam Finn, R. H. Ledbetter, W. F. Marcuson Iii
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
This paper traces the evolution of geotechnical earthquake engineering practice in North America from 1954 to 1994. The development of the state-of-the-art has been shaped strongly by four areas of practice: assessment of seismic hazard, estimation of liquefaction potential, seismic response analysis of earth structures and seismic safety evaluation and remediation of existing dams with potentially liquefiable zones. Evolution of practice in each of these areas will be traced and the current state-of-the-art evaluated. Present capabilities in practice will be illustrated by examples from the areas of seismic response of dams, liquefaction potential and seismic safety evaluation and remediation of …

Simple Physical Models For Foundation Dynamics, John P. Wolf
Simple Physical Models For Foundation Dynamics, John P. Wolf
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
As an alternative to rigorous boundary-element solutions, simple physical models can be used to determine e.g. the interaction force-displacement relationship (dynamic stiffness) of foundations and the seismic effective foundation input motion. Translational and rotational cones and their corresponding lumped-parameter models together with simple one-dimensional wave patterns in the horizontal plane allow surface, embedded and pile foundations even for a layered site to be analyzed and thus form a major step towards developing a strength-of-materials approach to foundation - vibration analysis. The analysis can mostly be performed directly in the time domain. The physical models provide physical insight which is often …

This paper focuses on the most relevant results of recent investigations carried out on the behavior of Mexico City clays under dynamic loading, on the effects of soil site conditions and on the evaluation of the dynamic soil-structure interaction phenomenon. The paper shows the impact of these studies upon foundation engineering practice in earthquake-prone regions where clayey deposits exist, and advances simple, yet accurate, procedures to develop site-dependent, building-specific input motions for the design of structures in the Valley of Mexico. It discusses recent seismic observations that clarify the origin of the long coda observed in several records obtained in …
Seismic Design Of Pile Foundations: Structural And Geotechnical Issues, Geoffrey R. Martin, Ignatius Po Lam
Seismic Design Of Pile Foundations: Structural And Geotechnical Issues, Geoffrey R. Martin, Ignatius Po Lam
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Research on soil-pile-structure interaction under dynamic loading over the past 20 years has led to a variety of analysis approaches of varying complexity to address a range of dynamic problems. Many of these analysis approaches have been adapted for use for the seismic design of pile foundations. In this paper, the various analysis methods are only briefly reviewed. The focus of discussion is on design concepts and issues more routinely used or encountered by structural engineers during seismic design of new or retrofitted pile foundation systems representative of those used for bridges and buildings.
Design And Behavior Of Tailings Dams Under Seismic Conditions, Jorge H. Troncoso
Design And Behavior Of Tailings Dams Under Seismic Conditions, Jorge H. Troncoso
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Seismic design of tailings dams in present times has to provide satisfactory solutions to fulfill environmental protection requirements and to assure proper behavior after closure and abandonment. The requirements to protect the environment include control of seepage and other forms of pollution of the air, waters and soils, under normal conditions, and also under the most extreme events which may be foreseen to occur. The worst possible form of pollution under such extreme conditions is a liquefaction failure involving breaching of the dam and flooding of the valleys downstream. The probability of occurrence of maximum events obviously increases with the …

Dynamic Soil Pressures On Vertical Walls, Anestis S. Veletsos, Adel H. Younan
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
A summary is presented of recently contributed simple approximate solutions for the dynamic pressures and the associated forces induced by ground shaking on rigid vertical walls. The walls are presumed to be either straight or circular in plan and to retain a uniform viscoelastic soil stratum of constant thickness and infinite extent in the horizontal direction. Both the walls and the stratum are considered to be supported on a non-deformable base undergoing a space-invariant, uniform horizontal motion. The effects of both harmonic and earthquake-induced excitations are examined, and comprehensive numerical data ate presented which elucidate the underlying response mechanisms and …

Distribution Of Structural Damage In Nishinomiya City And The Eastward Suffered From The Great Hanshin (Hyogoken Nanbu) Earthquake Of January 16, 1995, Kensuke Baba
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
A powerful earthquake was caused in the northern region of the Awajishima Island, Japan, on 16 January 1995, and many human lives, structures and facilities suffered fatal damage from the seismic motions in the Hanshin' (Osaka-Kobe) region. The epicenter was located 20 kilometers below the ground surface and the seismic magnitude was 7.2 on Japan Meteorological scale. The aftershocks have been observed in a slender zone oriented to the northeast and stretching to a northern limit on the west-east trending Arima-Takatsuki fault line, which is analogous to the geological area accompanied with the tectonic collapse (Fig. 1).

Dynamic Shear Modulus And Damping Ratio Predicted By A Unified 3-D Critical State Bounding Surface Plasticity Model, John P. Wolf, Roger S. Crouch
Dynamic Shear Modulus And Damping Ratio Predicted By A Unified 3-D Critical State Bounding Surface Plasticity Model, John P. Wolf, Roger S. Crouch
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
A unified 3-d critical state bounding surface plasticity model (gUTS) has been developed which is able to provide realistic simulations of the behavior of clays, silts and sands both in drained and undrained conditions over a wide range of monotonic and complex cyclic paths. A strong feature of this model is its ability to treat loose and dense states of the same material with a single set of material constants. The link between the two states is made by introducing an apparent normal consolidation line for sands and adopting a volumetric plastic strain hardening/softening model (similar to the critical state …
High Strain Rate Testing Of Unsaturated Sands Using A Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar, G. E. Veyera, C. A. Ross
High Strain Rate Testing Of Unsaturated Sands Using A Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar, G. E. Veyera, C. A. Ross
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
High strain rate tests were conducted on specimens of three different sands at saturations varying from dry to 100% using a Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar. Compacted specimens were subjected to undrained uniaxial confined compression at approximate strain rates of 1000/s and 2000/s by an approximate square wave input of 225 MPa with a pulse length of 250 µs. The stress-strain curves show an initially steep portion which appears to be strain rate independent. Beyond this, slopes are about the same up to the lock-up strain, an abrupt change in slope, indicating an increase in stiffness. The effect of increasing saturation is …

Modelling Of Cyclic Behavior Of Sand In Large Range Of Strain Amplitudes, P. Y. Hicher, M. Kordjani
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
The aim of this paper is to show that it is possible to model the behavior of soils in a large range of strains (10-6 to 10-1), using an elastoplastic law with a unique set of parameters. A multimechanism law with a kinematic hardening was used to model the monotonous and cyclic behavior of sand.

Subsequent Consolidation Of Clay Subjected To Undrained Cyclic Loading, Tej B. S. Pradhan, G. Imai, Y. Ueno, T. K. Dam
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
This paper is mainly focused on two parts: (a) to clarify the mechanism of migration of excess pore water pressure in clay specimen and (b) subsequent consolidation behavior after the dissipation of excess pore water pressure accumulated due to undrained cyclic loading. A new technique to measure the pore pressure at the mid-height periphery of a triaxial specimen was developed. The effect of loading frequency and the stress level on the generation of excess pore pressure at the top, bottom and at mid-height of the specimen has been discussed. The variation of recompression index due to the dissipation of excess …

Stress Dependence Of Sand Stiffness, D. C. F. Lo Presti, M. Jamiolkowski, O. Pallara, V. Pisciotta, S. Ture
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
The stress dependence of the Young's modulus of two sands was studied with a computer controlled triaxial apparatus, capable of giving reliable measurements of the stiffness even at very small strains ≈ 0.001 %. It was therefore possible to determine the Young's modulus of the sands for a wide strain range, from very small to very large, up to 20 %. The tested sands were: a uniform fine quartz sand not containing fines (Toyoura sand- TOS), and a well graded coarse to medium carbonatic, crushable sand containing about 2% of fines (Quiou sand - QS). The specimens were reconstituted in …
