Effect of frequency on seismic response of reinforced soil slopes in shaking table tests

Seismic Response of Soil Slopes in Shaking Table Tests: Effect of Type and Quantity of Reinforcement

“…These layers are separated by linear roller bearings arranged to permit relative movement between the layers with minimum friction. Details of the shaking table setup and laminar box were presented by Srilatha et al [17].…”

“…Accelerometers are of analog voltage output type with a full-scale acceleration range of ±2 g along both the x and y axes, with sensitivity of 0.001 g and these accelerometers were connected to the shaking table controller through a junction box for data acquisition [17]. Non-contact type ultrasonic displacement transducers were used to measure the horizontal displacements at different elevations.…”

Cyclic behaviour of dry silty sand reinforced with a geotextile

“…Among such studies are Maher and Woods (1990), Das, 1994, Krishnaswamy andIsaac (1994), Vercueil et al (1997), Feng and Sutter (2000), Boominathan and Hari (2002), Shahnazari et al (2009), Moghaddas Tafreshi and Dawson (2009, 2012, Palmeira and Antunes (2010), Wang et al (2011), Sreedhar andKumar (2011), El Sawwaf andNazir (2012), Koseki (2012), and Srilatha et al (2013), which mostly concentrated on the evaluation of the dynamic behaviour of soils reinforced with plane elements and distributed fibers using the cyclic triaxial test, torsion shear tests, shaking table tests and resonant column tests. Ravi Shankar and Sitharam (2005) evaluated the dynamic properties of Ahmedabad sand at large strains by performing a strain controlled cyclic triaxial test on dry and saturated soil samples at medium to large shear strain levels.…”

Shake Table Tests to Measure the Dynamic Performance of Geotextile-reinforced Embankment

“…Results of the experiments revealed that significant soil amplification was observed especially when non-linear behaviour took place that may influence the failure of the slope and the failure surface was circular and close to the slope surface. The only study in the literature which is related to the effect of frequency on seismic response of reinforced soil slope is given by Srilatha et al [12]. Clayey soil was used for the experiments.…”
