Knowledge Gap
To handle increasing infrastructure demand modern structures often require large dimension, rigid foundations
Engineers lack the design tools to predict the forces on large foundations resulting from seismic ground failure
Often resort to conservative designs that increase cost & time, environmental disturbance, and may increase permitting issues

Project Overview
Measure lateral spreading-induced pressures against a rigid foundation element
Explore novel approaches to mitigate effects of increase in lateral pressure
Use physical modeling (centrifuge testing) and parallel numerical simulations to approach a solution

Project Approach
We are using the physical experiments and numerical simulations with a “learned” soil model in an integrated fashion to optimize the design of future experiments and simulations (EDS-SDE)

Numerical Modeling
Numerical models (2D and 3D) have been developed for each centrifuge test configuration using OpenSees (McKenna and Fenves 2001) and the soil models developed at the UC-San Diego (Yang et al. 2003).
The model results (in terms of displacements and soil behavior close to the caisson) are very sensitive to the numerical procedure used to define the soil-caisson interface. We focused on two types of soil-caisson interfaces:
- EOF: equal degree of freedom (translation) between the nodes of the soil and the caisson elements
- GAP: use a connection element with limit force capacity between the soil and the caisson nodes which is able to transfer compression forces but cannot transfer tension forces to the soil elements

Conclusions
After significant effort, the tactile pressure pads successfully captured lateral pressure distributions on the front and rear of the rigid caisson to allow net pressure evaluation
During shaking, the median pressure distribution on the upslope side of the caisson approached the undrained passive envelope developed using a liquefied strength ratio, su(liq)/'vo = 0.11
During shaking, the median pressure distribution on the downslope side of the caisson remain near Kactive. This is attributed to the general inertial effects at that location, along with possible drainage during the shaking

Conclusions (cont.)
The net pressure on the caisson is greater than that predicted using JRA and is similar to the pressure distribution observed by He et al. (2009) in the upper 3 m of the profile but begins to deviate at greater depth
One of the key elements to correctly simulating the model behavior using OpenSees is defining the soil-pile interface. There are different procedures to simulate the behavior at the soil-pile interface. The use of GAP element with limited force capacity is able to reproduce the boundary displacements, pore water pressure and acceleration time histories at different depths recorded in Test I-A3. We continue working to improve the procedure to properly model the soil – ground improvement interaction
