| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, dynamic centrifuge model tests of an embankment placing on rigid base and soft base modelled by urethane were conducted to investigate the liquefaction resistance in association with the change of the stress distribution inside embankments due to basal subsidence. Experimental results reveal that lateral spreading deformation causes reduction in horizontal earth pressure along the bottom of highly-compacted embankments due to concave settlement of the base. Moreover, arch action was formed underneath the core of embankment as reduction in vertical earth pressure was observed due to the basal subsidence and loosening of inner zone after submersion in Metalose supplied inside the embankment. Comparisons between embankments built on the urethane ground and those built on rigid ground imply that basal subsidence decreases liquefaction resistance in embankments during an earthquake.
