Parameter Identification and Numerical Analysis of Shaking Table Tests on Liquefiable Soil-Structure-Interaction

Abstract:

Using the parameter identification method of analysis on the test records of soil acceleration and pore water pressure from the shaking table tests for dynamic liquefiable soil-pile-structure interaction system, the dynamic properties of soil are obtained. Based on the recognized soil parameters, numerical simulation of liquefiable soil-pile-structure interaction test has been carried out. The results of the comparision of acceleration response and pore water pressure obtained from numerical simulation and tests show that the rule drawn from the numerical simulation is agreed well with those from the tests, though there are some disparities in quantity. So the reliability of parameter identification and numerical simulation technology in shaking table tests is validated. The result in this dissertation can be referred for future similar research.
