Geotechnical Centrifuge Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Simulation of Soil-Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two geotechnical centrifuge model tests of a soil-structure system with different burial depths are performed to investigate the interaction between soil and structure. The tests are performed at 50 gravitational centrifuge accelerations and the input motion is Kobe wave. This paper focuses on the accelerations and displacements in the soil-structures system. The peak accelerations and displacements along the axis of the structure and along the vertical line 17cm away from the axis are presented. The acceleration and displacement response due to the interaction between soil and structure are studied.
