Book Synopsis Analysis and Design for Inelastic Structural Response of Extended Pile Shaft Foundations in Laterally Spreading Ground During Earthquakes by : Arash Khosravifar
Download or read book Analysis and Design for Inelastic Structural Response of Extended Pile Shaft Foundations in Laterally Spreading Ground During Earthquakes written by Arash Khosravifar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences from past earthquakes have shown that lateral spreading associated with liquefaction of cohesionless soils can be a cause of severe damage to bridge foundations. Large diameter extended pile shafts can be an effective bridge foundation choice for areas subjected to lateral spreading because they offer greater stiffness and strength relative to the magnitude of lateral spreading loads that can develop against them. A limited degree of plastic hinging below the ground surface may be allowable in design of extended pile shafts. Issues for design for extended pile shafts include: (a) how to estimate the demands due to superstructure inertia and lateral spreading in liquefied soils, and (b) how to combine these two loads in estimating the local and global inelastic demands on the structure. Studies of the response of pile foundations and pile-supported structures in liquefiable soils using physical models, numerical models, and case studies have provided the basis for a number of design recommendations. The guidance is, however, quite varied regarding how lateral spreading and superstructure inertial loads should be combined in design. To answer the above questions a series of Nonlinear Dynamic Finite Element Analyses (NDA) have been performed to investigate inelastic response of extended pile shafts subjected to liquefaction-induced lateral spreading, covering a range of soil, pile, and ground motion conditions. The results of NDA were first used to show that combined effects of lateral spreading and superstructure inertia produce larger demands than are produced by either loading case alone, such that the combined demand cannot be enveloped by analyzing the two load cases separately. The results were then used to evaluate current equivalent static analysis (ESA) method (Caltrans, 2008), with the relatively poor agreement illustrating the limitations of methods that do not combine the two loads. The results of NDA parametric study were then used to develop and calibrate an ESA procedure. The ESA procedure addresses both the nonliquefaction and liquefaction cases, and includes criteria that identify conditions which tend to produce excessive demands or collapse conditions. Finally, a series of three-dimensional (3D) Nonlinear Dynamic Finite Element Analyses (NDA) were performed to examine inelastic behavior of large diameter extended pile shafts subjected to earthquake shaking and liquefaction-induced lateral spreading. The purpose of these analyses was to evaluate the differences between 2D and 3D simulations, understand the source of any differences, and evaluate whether those differences would affect design recommendations for Equivalent Static Analysis (ESA).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of buildings and infrastructure is an unfortunate consequence of major earthquakes (e.g., the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan and the 2007 Pisco earthquake in Peru). Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading is known to be one cause of severe damage to deep foundation systems. However, the dynamic soil-structure interaction between liquefied soil and piles is extremely complex and further work is required to define the appropriate design pressures and to understand the mechanisms at work. This thesis presents the findings of an experimental program carried out using the large geotechnical centrifuge at C-CORE in St John's Newfoundland, to investigate the mechanism of lateral spreading and its implications for dynamic soil-pile interaction. Soil and pile responses were measured using accelerometers, pore pressure transducers, and digital imaging using a high speed camera. Using these images, transient profiles of slope deformation were quantitatively measured using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). These tests illustrate the potential for earthquake shaking to excite the natural frequency of the liquefied soil column, which can lead to increased transient lateral pressures on piles in liquefiable ground. This study recommends that this potential for "auto tuning" should be anticipated in design and proposes a new limiting pseudo-static backbone p-y curve for use in the design of piles subjected to lateral spreading ground deformation.

Book Synopsis Single Piles in Liquefiable Ground by : Rui Wang
Download or read book Single Piles in Liquefiable Ground written by Rui Wang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the seismic response of piles in liquefiable ground. It describes the design of a three-dimensional, unified plasticity model for large post-liquefaction shear deformation of sand, formulated and implemented for parallel computing. It also presents a three-dimensional, dynamic finite element analysis method for piles in liquefiable ground, developed on the basis of this model,. Employing a combination of case analysis, centrifuge shaking table experiments and numerical simulations using the proposed methods, it demonstrates the seismic response patterns of single piles in liquefiable ground. These include basic force-resistance mode, kinematic and inertial interaction coupling mechanism and major influence factors. It also discusses a beam on the nonlinear Winkler foundation (BNWF) solution and a modified neutral plane solution developed and validated using centrifuge experiments for piles in consolidating and reconsolidating ground. Lastly, it studies axial pile force and settlement during post-earthquake reconsolidation, showing pile axial force to be irrelevant in the reconsolidation process, while settlement is process dependent.

This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction (liquefaction) is a leading cause of earthquake damage worldwide. Liquefaction is often described in the literature as the phenomena of seismic generation of excess porewater pressures and consequent softening of granular soils. Many regions in the United States have been witness to liquefaction and its consequences, not just those in the west that people associate with earthquake hazards. Past damage and destruction caused by liquefaction underline the importance of accurate assessments of where liquefaction is likely and of what the consequences of liquefaction may be. Such assessments are needed to protect life and safety and to mitigate economic, environmental, and societal impacts of liquefaction in a cost-effective manner. Assessment methods exist, but methods to assess the potential for liquefaction triggering are more mature than are those to predict liquefaction consequences, and the earthquake engineering community wrestles with the differences among the various assessment methods for both liquefaction triggering and consequences. State of the Art and Practice in the Assessment of Earthquake-Induced Soil Liquefaction and Its Consequences evaluates these various methods, focusing on those developed within the past 20 years, and recommends strategies to minimize uncertainties in the short term and to develop improved methods to assess liquefaction and its consequences in the long term. This report represents a first attempt within the geotechnical earthquake engineering community to consider, in such a manner, the various methods to assess liquefaction consequences.
