LEAP-UCD-2017 Centrifuge Test at KAIST
Abstract Since the earthquakes of Niigata (Japan, 1964) and Alaska (USA, 1964), the dangers of liquefaction have been highlighted and research into liquefaction has been actively performed. Particularly, as part of the provision and verification of liquefaction data through physical modeling by using centrifuge and numerical prediction, the Liquefaction Experiments Analysis Project (LEAP) was launched. The purpose of the recent LEAP-UCD-2017, in which nine facilities participated, was to evaluate the uncertainty and repeatability of response in a previous study for LEAP-GWU-2015. The ground models were prepared in a rigid box with a 5° sloping model with relative densities of 85 and 50% by using Ottawa sand. The models were subjected to nondestructive and destructive motions based on a ground motion consisting of a tapered 1 Hz sine wave. This paper describes not only the experimental procedure in detail but also the difference in the sensor response of the ground model corresponding to the relative density of 85 and 50% during liquefaction. Moreover, it provides data for permanent horizontal–vertical displacement through liquefaction and for validation of the numerical model.
