Alaska Earthquake;
Introduction
Lateral spreading is particularly damaging if a non-liquefiable
crust rides on top of the liquefied soil. When the ground crust
is frozen, it will greatly impact the liquefaction of underlying
soils as well as the consequences of liquefaction for two
reasons
the frozen ground crust forms a stiff and almost impermeable mass
that restricts up-ward flow of water; and
the frozen crust will likely impose large lateral loads on the bridge
foundation during shaking as well as post-liquefaction lateral
spreading
Calibration of FE model
Description of Centrifuge Test
A centrifuge experiment identified
as PDS01 (Singh et al., 2000)
conducted by the Center for
Geotechnical Modeling at UC
Davis was selected to validate the
FE model.
Selected
Pile
Calibration of FE model
Description of Centrifuge Test
Soil and model parameters from the experiment were used in the
simulation.
Calibration of FE model
Description of Centrifuge Test
Comparison was made for the displacement time history of pile head.
The trend of results from experiment and FE modeling is in good
agreement.
The pile head deflection obtained from experiment and FE model is
44 and 71 cm, respectively.
