Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では,液状化に代表される地盤の動的挙動を対象に,固有異方性を人為的に変化させた模型地盤を作製することにより,地震時の地盤応答に及ぼす固有異方性の影響を定量的に評価する.また,数値解析で固有異方性の影響を考慮できるよう地盤の構成モデルに改良を加える.初年度と2年目(上期)は遠心力載荷装置を用いた実験的研究を中心に行い,2年目の下期以降で構成モデルの改良や実験の再現解析といった解析的研究を進める.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Shaking table tests in a centrifugal field and undrained cyclic shear tests using a hollow specimen were conducted to elucidate the dynamic behavior of ground with inherent anisotropy, as typified by liquefaction during earthquakes. The results demonstrate that the inherent anisotropy of the ground depending on the deposition angle affects not only the response during cyclic loading but also the behavior after vibration with the dissipation of excess pore water pressure. In order to predict the mechanical behavior of ground with inherent anisotropy precisely by numerical simulation, a constitutive model called the strain-space multiple shear mechanism model was validated. The results show that complex geotechnical behavior, in which anisotropy between principal strains and stresses becomes pronounced, can be elaborately represented by appropriately taking into account the influence of inherent anisotropy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

我が国では南海トラフ地震や首都直下地震等の発生が切迫しており、液状化を始めとした地盤災害による被害形態や程度を高精度に予測する技術の確立が急務である。地盤は堆積環境等に起因した固有異方性を有しているのが一般的であるが、これまで地震時における動的応答の評価の際に、固有異方性の影響が考慮されることはほとんどなかった。本研究における遠心模型実験と室内土質試験により、地盤の動的挙動が固有異方性の影響を強く受けること、および適切な土の構成モデルを用いることでこのような固有異方性の影響を数値シミュレーションにより考慮できることが示された。これにより今後の地盤災害の予測精度の向上につながるものと考えられる。
