Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the completion of a new major centrifuge based earthquake simulation facility and a series of model tests that were conducted using the facility. The model tests used centrifuge modeling to investigate remediation of liquefaction at a bridge site. The tests were designed to help evaluate the extent of soil improvement required to mitigate the consequences of liquefaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, top seismic experts and researchers from Europe and around the world, including the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) in the USA, present the most recent outcome of their work in experimental testing, as well as the results of the transnational access activities of external researchers who have used Europe's seven largest and most advanced seismic testing facilities in the framework of the Seismic Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies (SERIES) Project financed by the European Commission in its 7th Framework Programme (2007-2013). This includes EU’s largest reaction wall facility, EU's four largest shaking table laboratories and its two major centrifuges. The work presented includes state-of-the-art research towards the seismic design, assessment and retrofitting of structures, as well as the development of innovative research toward new fundamental technologies and techniques promoting efficient and joint use of the research infrastructures. The contents of this volume demonstrate the fruits of the effort of the European Commission in supporting research in earthquake engineering.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Performance of Piled Bridge Abutments Affected by Liquefaction induced Ground Deformations Through Centrifuge Tests and Numerical Analysis Tools written by Richard James Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deformations of a bridge approach embankment due to earthquake-induced liquefaction in the underlying soil can impose large loads or demands on the piled abutment and pile foundations embedded through the embankment. However, because the piled foundation is embedded through an embankment of finite width, the foundation may actually restrain the movement of the embankment and thus create smaller displacements and loads on the piled foundation than would be expected based on analyses that uncouple the embankment deformations from the bridge response. To investigate this phenomenon, three centrifuge tests were conducted. Each test modeled two identical bridge approach embankments underlain by liquefied soil, with a total of six embankments modeled. The embankments were constructed of dry sand and underlain by saturated loose sand, which liquefied during shaking. Each centrifuge test included one embankment with a pile group at its crest and one embankment without a pile group. Results from the centrifuge tests provided physical evidence that the resisting forces from piles can reduce the embankment displacements resulting from earthquake-induced liquefaction in the underlying soils. This beneficial mechanism, called "pile pinning," should be included in practice when analyzing or designing piled bridge abutments in liquefiable ground, as it could result in significant economic savings (e.g., soil remediation or foundation retrofit). Two tools to account for this pile-pinning effect in design are: (1) equivalent static analyses (ESA) and (2) non-linear deformation analyses (NDA). Both ESA and NDA were used to analyze these centrifuge tests, with the purpose of evaluating these tools' predictive capabilities. For these centrifuge tests, ESA significantly over-predicted displacements and demands on the piles, whereas NDA provided a better comparison (although still with a tendency to over-predict). The better predictive capability of NDA was attributed to several modeling capabilities not possible with ESA. The relative merits of ESA and NDA for current practice depend on how decisions in design may be affected. Future advances can be expected with NDA methods, including improvements in the constitutive models, numerical methods, and software usability. Future advances are unlikely to be realized with ESA methods given their inherent simplifications of the physical processes.
