Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research intends to clarify the mechanism of the geotechnical disaster induced by earthquakes in the situation that surface is frozen in cold regions. we conducted a series of shaking table tests for the model that has frozen surface layer. We also conducted temperature-controlled direct shear test to estimate the mechanical characteristics at the frozen/unfrozen soil interface.According to the results obtained, the behavior of the excess pore water pressure under frozen surface is different from that of an unfrozen model because the frozen surface layer obstructs the drainage of water. Furthermore, compared with that for the unfrozen condition, the shear strength under frozen-surface is higher, and the internal friction angle is also larger. Therefore, we conclude that the undrained situation due to frozen surface layer and the increase in shear strength at the interface strengthen the resistance against liquefaction.
