Description |
The objective was to study, by
simulating realistic conditions in a centrifuge, earthquake ground motions and the effects
on the soil-structure interaction phenomenon for offshore structures. Such studies will
lead to better methods for: (1) developing site-specific seismic design motions, (2)
determining liquefaction potential and permanent ground movement, and (3) predicting pile
behavior for different earthquake ground motions. This was a Joint Industry Project (JIP)
to evaluate centrifuge modeling techniques for predicting the site response of Outer
Continental Shelf platforms and the soil liquefaction potential during an earthquake. |
