35 Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory 35Summary

36 Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory 36 Ground Motion/Slope Discussion Chosen Ground motion (0.05/5s, 0.1g/5s, 0.25 or 0.3g/5s) is adequate to induce gradual rise in pore press. & Liquefaction. Simulation results show that once Liquefaction is reached, sliding continues; Sliding increases with increase in slope. Typically exceeds 1m in 10-12 s and increases with time. In real world, sliding will cease due to densification and dilation. Ring Correction: Box Inclination = Field Inclination / 2.2 (approx) Ring Friction Correction is not significant Uncertainties Look into 1-D simulations & possible Dr achievable more carefully before choosing inclination. Perform LG-1 with GM#2 or GM#4; Await for Level Ground Test Results before finalizing Slope Angle.

37 Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory 37 Ground Motion/Slope - Concensus? Soil Density = 40-50% (?) Ground Surface Inclination= 1.5 to 2 o Box Inclination = Field Inclination / 2.2 (approx) Maximum displacement= 1 m in 10 - 12 s Uncertainties – Simulation, Density Tentative Gr. Motion Ottawa Sand D r =40 – 50% k=1E-5m/sec  = 19.2kN/m 3
