Abstract
In order to verify the reliability of numerical analysis, a series of 1 g shaking table tests for flat ground and slope were conducted using a laminar shear box subjected to different seismic waves. Firstly, numerical analyses, using the DEEPSOIL and ABAQUS software, were done to compare the results of flat ground experiments. After that, finite element analyses with ABAQUS were conducted to compare the results of slope experiments. For numerical analyses, considering the influence of the boundary, the concept of adjusted elastic modulus was proposed to improve the simulation results. Based on the analyses, it is found that in terms of acceleration-time history and spectral acceleration, the numerical analysis results are in good agreement with the experiment results. This implies that numerical analysis can capture the dynamic behavior of soil under 1 g shaking table test conditions.Funding Information
