- Description
- In recent years, a significant research effort has been focused on assessing the performance of structures founded on liquefaction-prone soils. An important part of this effort has been the development of tools capable of predicting cyclic and permanent deformations over the small to moderate strain range (<1m).
The most
promising of these predictive tools incorporates the use of constitutive soil models in
finite element and finite difference computer programs to solve boundary value
problems. Unfortunately, the use of advanced constitutive soil models for liquefiable
soils is being hampered by a lack of the high-quality laboratory testing for use in the
validation of existing models and development of new ones. In particular, very little
modeling-quality testing has been performed on: a) medium dense to dense sand that
exhibits dilative behavior, b) sands under initial ìdrivingî shear conditions as would
be found in sloping ground or under a structure, and c) sands experiencing multidirectional
stress (or strain) paths.
To address this urgent need for modeling-quality data a program of multidirectional
simple shear testing was performed on medium to high relative density,
2
fully-saturated samples of Monterey 0/30 sand in the U.C. Berkeley Bi-directional
Simple Shear Device. A variety of previously unexplored multi-directional stress
paths (including bi-directional linear, oval/circular, and figure-8) were explored. Tests
were performed both with and without an initial static driving shear stress in order to
replicate the initial in-situ loading conditions on soils elements under both sloping and
level ground conditions. Additionally, the major axis of the three loading types was
oriented in both the dip and strike directions for the sloping ground cases.
The results of this testing program addressed two ultimate goals. The first is
the development of insight into the behavior of liquefiable soils under generalized
loading conditions. The second is the development of modeling-quality laboratory
data quantitatively describing the behavior of liquefiable soils for use in model
development and calibration. Experimental, results are presented both as quantitative
data and as insights into more generalized behavior of liquefiable materials under
multi-directional loading. PDF |
