ABSTRACT

Koga & Matsuo (1990) performed a series of 1g shaking table tests for embankments resting on the liquefiable sandy ground to examine the shear stress-strain relationship during liquefaction. Brennan et al. (2005) evaluated the shear stress-strain relationships for various types of soil. A series of 1-D centrifuge shaking table tests equipped with dense arrays of accelerometer and pore water pressure transducer along depths in an acceleration of 80 g was conducted to investigate the evolution of shear modulus before and during liquefaction occurs in a 24 m sand deposit.
