Abstract Details

, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Civil Engineering.
Earthquakes, as one of the well-known natural disasters, are highly destructive and unpredictable. Foundation failure due to liquefaction induced by earthquake can cause casualties as well as significant damage to a building itself. Fabric anisotropy of soil grains is considered as an important factor to dynamic soil response based on previous researches and laboratory tests. However, the limited availability of real physical data makes it less persuasive. In this study, shake tables installed on a geotechnical centrifuge is used to provide designed seismic motions, therefore simulate the realistic earthquake motion to foundations. An objective of the study is to understand better the dynamic response and key aspects of the behavior of this complex saturated sand-shallow footing system. Important parameters in the response such as acceleration, excess pore pressure and deformation are evaluated to investigate the influence. Implications for design are discussed.
