We describe two experiments performed on a 9-m-radius geotechnical centrifuge to evaluate dynamic soil–structure interaction effects on the cyclic failure potential of fine-grained soil. Each experiment incorporated three different structures with a range of mass and stiffness properties. Structures were founded on strip footings embedded in a thin layer of sand overlying lightly overconsolidated low-plasticity fine-grained soil. Shaking was applied to the base of the model container, consisting of scaled versions of recorded earthquake ground motions, sweep motions, and step waves. Data recorded during testing were processed and published on the platform DesignSafe. We describe the model configuration, sensor information, shaking events, and data processing procedures and present selected processed data to illustrate key model responses and to provide a benchmark for data use.

Structure Interaction

abstract An analytical expression describing the three-dimensional vertical soil-structure interaction effects is developed using Laplace and Hankel transformation techniques. Utilizing these transformation techniques and normal mode theory of vibration, an N-mass structural model is coupled to an elastic half-space representing the earth. The resulting interaction equation is solved by numerical iteration techniques for a model of a nuclear power plant subjected to actual earthquake ground excitation. The effects of the soil-structure interaction are evaluated by comparing free-field acceleration spectrum response curves with similar curves determined from the foundation motion. These effects are found to be significant for structures typical of modern nuclear power plants subjected to seismic ground motions.
