RESPONSE OF BRIDGES DUE TO LIQUEFACTION INDUCED LATERAL SPREADING Erickson Nguon University of Auckland, New Zealand August 14, 2013

Project Overview The objective of this project is to investigate and model bridge responses due to liquefaction induced lateral spreading. Specifically the Avondale Bridge in Christchurch will first be investigated. A computer generated Ruaumoko model of the bridges will be created under a displacement loading similar to the soil displacements investigated on-site. With the model the results will be validated with the actual results of the bridge. After the model is validated sensitivity testing will be conducted.

Recent Progress The stiffness values first calculated are posing an issue on the model and are now currently being recalculated through a different soil-structure method. The displacements of the abutment/pile exceeds the soil displacement and that does not make sense. Figure 1: The displacement of the abutment/pile shown here exceeds the soil displacements and that should not be occurring. The issue is believed to be with the soil-spring stiffness values.

Projected Progress This coming week I will assist Liam with soil testing in Hawera, Taranaki. We will be conducting surface wave testing to determine their velocity profiles by inducing a propagating wave. Attempt to solve the stiffness issue by calculating it through different methods.

Thus far I learned a lot in this program, but I have also ran into a lot of walls in the model which have caused a lot of problems and potentially preventing me from fully completing my intended project. Running into these problems were expected and are a part of the learning process of the research field. What I have learned so far is how to use Ruaumoko and SAP2000 and have also learned how to use batch files and Excel macros to supplement my data from Ruaumoko/SAP2000.

Waitomo Caves These pictures were taken just outside of the Waitomo Caves. Waitomo meaning “many caves” in Maori. There were glow worms in the caves, but we couldn’t get a good picture of them. They were something you’d appreciate more in person anyways.
