Seismic Stability Analysis of Caissons under Earthquake Forces Considering 3D Log-Spiral Failure Surface
Bridge failure is mostly caused by geotechnical failure. Because caissons are the automatic choice for foundation systems for marine structures, such as bridges and wind turbines, this study addresses the determination of seismic passive earth pressure coefficients for caissons. In the present study, a realistic three-dimensional (3D) failure wedge was assumed to be formed behind caissons of different widths on the basis of the past results of experimental and numerical studies. The limit equilibrium method of analysis was adopted to determine the seismic passive earth pressure coefficients due to the cohesion component, surcharge component, and unit weight component. The current study takes into account the relative width and depth of the geotechnical structure and returns a series of design charts and tables for different soil-soil friction angles, soil-wall friction angles, and horizontal and vertical seismic acceleration coefficients. The results were compared with previous experimental and theoretical studies and found to be in excellent agreement.
