Abstract EN
Observations from recent earthquakes have emphasised the need for a better understanding of the effects of structure-footing-soil interaction on the response of structures.
In order to incorporate the influences of soil, a laminar box can be used to contain the soil during experiments.
The laminar box simulates field boundary conditions by allowing the soil to shear during shake table tests.
A holistic response of a structure and supporting soil can thus be obtained by placing a model structure on the surface of the soil in the laminar box.
This work reveals the response of structure with SFSI under mainshock and aftershock earthquake sequences.
A large (2 m by 2 m) laminar box, capable of simulating the behaviour of both dry and saturated soils, was constructed.
A model structure was placed on dry sand in the laminar box.
The setup was excited by a sequence of earthquake excitations.
The first excitation was used to obtain the response of the model on sand under the mainshock of an earthquake.
The second and third excitations represented the first and second aftershocks, respectively.
