Centrifuge Experimentation of Building Performance on Liquefied Ground (original) (raw)

Recent earthquakes have highlighted the damaging effects of liquefaction on building performance. This research conducts small-scale centrifuge tests to explore the interaction between shallow silt deposits and structural responses, aiming to enhance existing models of ground failure. The study documents the impact of liquefiable soil thickness, building conditions, and the comparison of ground reactions between silt and sand, ultimately striving to improve predictions of structural deformations in liquefied ground contexts.
