Displacement-Based Design Criteria For Gravity Retaining Walls In Light Of Recent Earthquakes, Donald Wotring, Glen Andersen
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
In the last 20 years many large earthquakes have occurred giving the geotechnical community an abundance of data available for analysis. Richards and Elms (1979) developed a design method for gravity retaining walls based on finite displacements, in accordance with the Newmark (1965) sliding block analysis and the Franklin and Chang (1977) earthquake records analysis. Richards and Elms approximated an upper bound to Franklin and Chang’s curves with an expression that permits a designer to choose an allowable displacement to determine the required wall weight for a particular peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity. A preliminary investigation of digitized …

International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
A review is made of geotechnical factors that played an important role in three recent earthquake-induced failures, two of which were deadly. The first two catastrophes concern two five-storey hotels that collapsed during the “Alkyonides earthquake” of 24 February 1981 (M=6.7) and the “Egion earthquake” of 15 June 1995 (M=6.2). The third failure is the collapse of a multi-storey factory caused by the “Athens earthquake” of 7 September 1999 (M=5.9). In the first two catastrophes, ground subsidence was estimated by two different methods and was found to be of the order of 0.13 to 0.46 m. These estimates are based …

Soil Column Response And Liquefaction Analyses, Sanjeev Kumar
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
This paper presents the procedure and results of soil column response (ground response) and liquefaction analyses performed for a site located in St. Charles, Missouri. Synthetic earthquake time histories were developed since recorded strong ground motion data for Central United States are not available. For ground response analysis, synthetic earthquake time histories and ground motions from two earthquakes in Canada were used. Synthetic time histories were generated using attenuation relationships for Central and Eastern United States. Liquefaction analysis was performed using the widely used simplified procedure which involves comparison of Cyclic Stress Ratio (CSR) and Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR).
Geotechnical Lessons Learnt From Neftegorsk Earthquake, Mark A. Klyachko
Geotechnical Lessons Learnt From Neftegorsk Earthquake, Mark A. Klyachko
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Under Neftegorsk (North Sakhalin) earthquake (1:04 a.m. local time, 05.28.95) 17 residential large-block houses were fully collapsed and killed almost everybody of inhabitants. Most of investigators explain this tragedy by poor construction. Other cause related to soil condition is under consideration. The author argues that “soil version” is more reasonable and significant than “construction version”. Neftegorsk is located on the sand deposits and just inundated sands, which were in basement of the 5-story buildings and had a liquefaction ability, could provoke a rapid inhomogeneous buildings settlements under vertical earthquake component. Thus, the absence of forehanded geotechical analysis under new seismic …

Evaluation Nonlinear Soil Response In Situ, Ellen M. Rathje, Ryan D. Phillips, Wen-Jong Chang, Kenneth H. Stokoe Ii
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
Evaluation of nonlinear soil properties is an important concern in geotechnical earthquake engineering. Typically, nonlinear properties are expressed in terms of the nonlinear reduction in shear and constrained moduli with strain and the nonlinear increase in material damping in shear and constrained compression with strain. At this time, there is essentially total dependency on laboratory testing to evaluate nonlinear soil properties. The accuracy and limitations involved in modeling in situ properties with laboratory evaluated properties remains to be studied. In an attempt to evaluate nonlinear soil properties directly in the field, an in situ test method is being developed at …

The Modelling Of Free Field Traffic Induced Vibrations By Means Of A Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction Approach, G. Lombaert, G. Degrande
International Conferences on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics
This paper deals with the numerical modelling of free field traffic induced vibrations during the passage of a vehicle on an uneven road. The road unevenness subjects the vehicle to vertical oscillations that cause dynamic axle loads. A simple 2D vehicle model is used for the calculation of the axle loads from the longitudinal road profile. The free field soil response is calculated with the dynamic Betti-Rayleigh reciprocity theorem, using a transfer function between the road and the receiver that accounts for dynamic road-soil interaction. The calculation of the transfer function is based on a dynamic substructure method with a …
