Publisher: USA Springer 2023Edition: Vol.53(5), Oct.Description: 1129-1164p.Subject(s): Construction Engineering and Management (CEM)Online resources: Click here In: Indian geotechnical journalSummary: Various earth-retaining structures are extensively used in different civil engineering projects. Using the results of experimental and numerical modeling, the effect of the earthquake loading on the distribution of the earth lateral pressures on basement walls was investigated. The UBCHYST constitutive model was used in the performed numerical simulations, and using the results of 12 centrifuge dynamic model tests, a calibration process was conducted to obtain the proper input parameters for numerical models. Based on the results, some correlations between the dynamic increment coefficient of earth lateral pressure (ΔKae) and the free-field peak ground acceleration (PGAff) were established. The correlations are different for stiff and flexible basement walls. In the end, the results of the model calibration process were verified by the examination of 12 major earthquakes that occurred in the Iran plateau. The results showed that the proposed ΔKae-PGAff correlations are precise enough for the applied design projects.Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
