Abstract:In evaluating the damage caused by earthquakes, attention has been paid exclusively to ground liquefaction of sandy grounds during earthquakes. However, studies of post-seismic damage, especially damage to clayey/silty grounds have also been reported. In this paper, the behavior of an actual alternately layered sand-silt ground and foundation-superstructure system during and after an earthquake is investigated. The calculations are carried out using a 2D/3D soil-water coupling analysis program named as DBLEAVE… Show more
