"Numerical Investigation of Liquefaction Induced Lateral Spreading
Effects on Piles"
Abstract: Earthquake-induced soil liquefaction and "lateral spreading"
of the liquefied soil has become a common cause of extended damage to
infrastructure during recent earthquakes. "Lateral spreading"
refers to the development of large horizontal ground displacements due
to earthquake induced liquefaction, in the case of even small, ground
surface inclination or step-like topography irregularities (e.g. river
and lake banks). The detailed study of this phenomenon faces a number
of objective difficulties, mostly related to its large horizontal (plan)
extent which prohibits the use of local, site-specific measurements and
observations for the development of accurate prediction models and relations.
This PHD thesis aims to extensively study the phenomenon with the help
of a sophisticated numerical code, based on Critical State Theory, which
has been extensively evaluated against centrifuge tests. In addition,
it aims to provide better and simpler tools for the prediction of both
soil displacements due to lateral spreading and their effect on deep foundations
(piles, caissons).
