Keynote Lecture: Some Recent Developments In The Selection Of Ground Motions For Design, W. D. Liam Finn, A. Wightman
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, Mahdi Taiebat, Amir M. Kaynia
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, Kwangkyun Kim, Mark J. Carlson, Duhee Park
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, Huriye Bilsel, Goknur Erhan, Turan Durgunoglu
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), Muge Akin, Steven L. Kramer, Tamer Topal
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 Compression Of Compacted Clayey Sand At Small Cyclic Strains, Mladen Vucetic, Macan Doroudian, David W. Sykora
Cyclic Compression Of Compacted Clayey Sand At Small Cyclic Strains, Mladen Vucetic, Macan Doroudian, David W. Sykora
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Ten drained cyclic strain-controlled direct simple shear tests were conducted on compacted low-plasticity clayey sand to measure its cyclic compression properties. The soil had 37 % fines, liquid limit of 28% and plasticity index 14. The relative compaction of specimens prior to consolidation and cyclic shearing was between 80 and 90 %. Cyclic compression is expressed as the accumulation of vertical strain with the number of cycles, N. Vertical strain recorded at the end of every cycle, ενc, increased with the cyclic shear strain amplitude, γc, and N. Such behavior is typical and has been obtained …
Cyclic Response Of Reconstituted Low Plasticity Silt, Selman Sağlam, B. Sadık Bakır
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, Erin Leung, Jack Pappin, Raymond Koo
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 …
