Earthquakes have been widely occurred all over the world, and the earthquake in Pohang, in particular, caused liquefaction to be observed for the first time in Korea. Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the ground becomes fluid-like. It can cause structures such as apartments to tilt, cause ground subsidence, and pose safety hazards. Because of these hazards, concerns continue to be raised about safety against ground and structural damage that may be caused by earthquakes. However, due to insufficient research on earthquakes in Korea at present, there is a lack of knowledge about such problems, so it is necessary to study countermeasures against damage caused by liquefaction caused by earthquakes.
In addition, when an earthquake occurs on sloping ground rather than on flat ground, it will cause great damage. Especially when there is a pile structure in the ground, the dynamic interaction between the ground and the pile is very complicated and difficult to clarify clearly. It is a fact that there is not much research on.
Many large-strength earthquakes occur overseas, and seismic data such as scale, damage, and measured seismic waves are analyzed and applied to design and maintenance, and actual tests are conducted through centrifuge model tests. However, in the centrifuge model test, a hinged wall type shear box is usually used, and when a special soil condition such as a laminar shear box is used to advance numerical analysis with that test data, numerical analysis is performed with that test data. The result is an unsatisfactory reality.
In this study, numerical analysis was carried out using centrifugal model test data using a laminar shear box, and the side boundary of the numerical analysis cross section was divided into a free boundary and a circulation boundary, and undrained conditions were assumed.
Comparing the results of the centrifuge model test with the numerical analysis test results of the free boundary and the circulation boundary, the excess water pressure in the gap, the horizontal displacement of the pile structure, effective stress path and shear deformation of the ground, the input and response acceleration, the acceleration amplification factor and phase difference, and the dynamic behavior focused on.
Due to the peculiarity of the laminar shear box, different boundary conditions can lead to different results. Furthermore, it is the actual situation that the laminar shear box itself should be modeled as a finite element and analyzed. It is judged necessary to develop a technique that can be considered.
